Simon Prescott joins our board as Chairman  

Our journey to deliver successful outcomes for clients takes another step forward with the board’s appointment of leading planning professional Simon Prescott as chairman.

A charted town planner and advocate for spatial planning, Simon joins following the opening of our new Bristol office and at a time of renewed national and local focus on strategic planning, housing delivery and placemaking.

His appointment reunites him with managing director Jacqueline Mulliner. Simon and Jacqueline first studied town planning at the University of the West of England in Bristol.

“This is a great time to join tor&co,

“The team has a strong track record, great clients and a clear commitment to supporting partners committed to vibrant places and sustainable growth.”

A track record of success

Simon brings more than 30 years’ experience in strategic planning, land promotion and development to his new role. He spent 17 years at Barton Willmore, serving as equity partner between 2009 and 2022. He has led major regeneration schemes across the region, including urban extensions at Taunton, the former Cadbury site in Keynsham, and Bath’s Foxhill redevelopment.

“Simon brings valuable experience and knowledge at a time when places across the country need good planning and thoughtful design more than ever,” added Jacqueline.

“His appointment reflects our commitment to helping clients succeed by securing and delivering sustainable development and building on our track record.”
