Russell Bolton Consulting (RBC) is pleased to announce the strengthening of our management team, with Ilyas Patel and James Alderson becoming Directors as we continue to broaden our service offering and extend our project pipeline.
Ilyas and James bring a huge amount of experience and knowledge to the business and have played a significant role in the continued growth of RBC.
Ilyas joined us following senior roles with Arcadis, RLB and Investar where he headed up its residential and commercial team across public, private and institutional clients. With over 30 years industry experience, James held roles with Investar, Cityheart and Mulbury before joining RBC and works closely with private and institutional investors in the UK and overseas.
Russell Bolton, Co-Founder and Director, said: “It’s fantastic to be able to announce James and Ilyas’ promotions – we remain focused on expanding our service line and pipeline. James will spearhead our development management offering and Ilyas will consolidate and grow our commercial management capability.”
Ilyas Patel, Director of Development and Cost Management, said: “While RBC delivers the same services as our competitors, our difference is our ability to deliver projects at all stages, having built a team who have worked for both client and consultant. I look forward to continuing to work alongside the senior team at RBC as we drive growth for the business and continue to expand our client base across the UK.”
James Alderson, Director of Development and Project Management, said: “Our client base and project pipeline has grown considerably, underpinned by our ability to bring life to challenging developments – it’s an exciting time for the business. We continue to work closely with clients to support the delivery of developments amid challenging conditions. While optimism is growing, it’s more important than ever that developers have the right team on board.”
