Gavin was elected a member of the Royal Town Planning Institute in 2002 and joined Savills in 2003. He holds a first class BSc (Hons) in Geography and an MSc in City & Regional Planning.
Gavin specialises in complex urban regeneration, waterfront and infrastructure projects for public and private sector clients. Gavin is results driven, providing a dynamic, client focused commercial approach to delivering viable consents that add value to the built environment.
Working nationally, with a strong track record in promoting opportunities, Gavin evolved a particular interest in marine/port planning and regeneration, project co-ordination and management, whilst retaining a keen interest in his home region - the Solent. He sits on the Hampshire Chamber Planning and Transport Committee, is a member of Business South and is a representative for Savills on the Solent LEP.
