Lambert Smith Hampton (LSH) has strengthened its Birmingham team with the appointment of a new Graduate Planner.

Alice Fitton joins from Manchester-based Urban Vision Partnership, where she was a Planning Consultant.

The 23-year-old University of Manchester Masters graduate, who attained a distinction in Planning, has joined LSH’s Planning and Development Consultancy Team in Birmingham, which is led by Director Stephen Hemming.

She is a licentiate member of Royal Town Planning Institute, working towards gaining full membership upon completion of her Assessment of Professional Competence (APC).

“I’m pleased to have the opportunity to join the Planning and Development Team at LSH,” she said. “It has a very impressive portfolio of clients, which will enable me to develop my knowledge in the planning sector, and I’m looking forward to learning from some of the best in the business.”

Stephen Hemming said: “We are always keen to develop the next generation of graduates by giving them the grounding they need to succeed and we are delighted to welcome Alice to the team.”
