In his new role, Graeme will be strengthening and developing SLR's transport and mobility planning offering in Scotland alongside OPEN colleagues and Iain Lamb, who joined the team as an associate transport planner earlier this year as part of the new service.

SLR has a fantastic offer across a wide variety of disciplines and some very exciting projects in the pipeline. Through the combination of good design and place making, giving people high quality places to live, work, shop, and learn, combined with genuine modal choice of travel, we can help make sustainability happen.
