Gregory tempts Lees from retirement

Gregory Property Group has appointed Philip Lees as Project Director to oversee the specific design and build of its commercial, leisure and residential developments. The architect retired in 2010 but was tempted back into business by the Leeds-based development company.

He was a partner at Watson Lees & Batty before setting up his own practice, Philip Lees & Associates, in 1985. He sold the practice in 2005 to Archial Group and became chairman of the North and Midlands region and a member of the group executive management board until retiring.
