Rider Levett Bucknall has promoted into senior management roles two of the five staff it poached from Mace last year.
Nick Eliot, formerly a senior partner at Mace, becomes managing partner for RLB鈥檚 London office, while Andrew Fettes Brown, also an ex-Mace senior partner, has been named the consultant鈥檚 head of cost management in the capital.

Andy Reynolds, RLB鈥檚 UK and global board director, said the trio had 鈥渁lways been on a journey to take on significant roles鈥� within the company.
鈥淣ick and Andrew鈥檚 appointments are part of a planned investment in our London operation, while Matt will help us develop opportunities that are going to come out of the Northern Powerhouse.鈥�
