Global sustainability specialist, SLR Consulting, has announced the appointment of Graeme Kelly as their new Director of Transport and Mobility Planning in Scotland, further strengthening the offering in the region.

With over 25 years of experience in the industry and a chartered transport planner, Graeme has a wealth of expertise in transport and mobility planning across disciplines including retail, residential, education, and health, and has worked in a traffic engineering lead role for a number of years, overseeing the technical side of this discipline throughout the UK.

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.

Graeme said: "This is a really exciting opportunity and I'm looking forward to developing the team here in Scotland. 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.
