Anna is our Managing Director, with many years of consultancy experience. Anna established the business in 2017, having worked in private sector consultancy at Rapleys, Broadway Malyan and most latterly as a Director at Turley.

Anna specialises in care, having worked extensively in the sector, but equally, is a member of the Institute of Environmental Management and Assessment, delivering Environment Statements for large scale residential and commercial projects. Outside of work Anna bakes, and as a result, runs (slowly).

Dan is a Director at Gillings Planning and joined the team in January 2018. He started his career at Southampton City Council before moving to Turley and then WYG.

Dan brings expertise in a wide range of sectors including commercial, new homes and strategic land promotion. In his spare time, Dan can be found outside getting muddy or smoky, either with his family or on his many Scouting adventures.

Hannah joined Gillings Planning in October 2017 as an Associate Director having previously been at Rapleys and Turley (and Nuneaton and Bedworth before that).

Hannah has worked across the sectors, but focussed on residential and brings an eye for detail. She is a talented crafter, which she fits in around her two beautiful girls.

Tom joined Gillings Planning as an Associate Director in July 2018.

With over six years of private sector experience gained at Turley, and through working on many high-profile projects in a range of sectors including care, higher education and commercial development, Tom brings additional expertise to the team.

When not at work he is most likely to be found on his bike which he races competitively.

Rachel has been working with Anna since the inception of Gillings Planning and is an Associate Director within the team.

Laura is a proud Brummie who now enjoys living beside the seaside. Outside of work, she enjoys walking in the New Forest (especially where there is a country pub at the end) and travelling as much as she can!

Emma joined the team in March 2018 as a Senior Planner. Emma has been at Bournemouth Borough Council previously, in the Development Management team.

Emma is a busy Mum and when she gets the chance she enjoys running with a local community group, baking (and eating) cakes and all things craft related. There is a definite theme amongst the team!

Kate joined the team in September 2018 as a Senior Planner and joined us from Chichester District Council’s Planning Policy team; before that she worked in the Development Management team at Test Valley Borough Council.

Outside of work Kate also enjoys running with her local community group but also needs her running trainers to keep up with her mischievous boys.

Hannah is our Office Manager and holds us all together. She is adept at managing multiple deadlines and requests for information, and the demands of her dog, Reggie.
