Commenting on his return to Armsons, Josh said:

“It’s exciting to be back at Armsons taking on new responsibilities amongst so many familiar faces.

“Steve, Sally, Jonathan and the team gave me a tremendous amount of help and support when I was a trainee and I’m look forward to getting stuck into some really exciting projects in my new senior role with the firm.”

Sally Walters, director of Armsons added:

“We’re delighted to welcome Josh back to the team at Armsons. He’s worked really hard over the past couple of years, completing his degree and achieving his MRICS qualification. “He has gained experience of working on a diverse range of major projects and is set to take on more responsibility in his new role as a senior member of the team.”
