Welcome Igor Talbot to Laurence Associates

We’re delighted to welcome Igor Talbot to Laurence Associates as our new Graduate Planner.

Igor joins our planning team following his graduation from Oxford Brookes University in 2026, where he studied Urban Planning and Development.

Having recently moved to Cornwall, Igor is beginning the next stage of his planning career with Laurence Associates. We’re looking forward to supporting him as he builds his experience, gets to know the team and develops his knowledge of planning in Cornwall.

We’re also very keen for Igor to get out and explore everything Cornwall has to offer outside of work. Having recently made the move, there is certainly plenty to discover, and perhaps he’ll even be persuaded to give surfing a go!

We’re really pleased to have Igor on board and look forward to seeing him grow into his role as part of our planning team.

Welcome to Laurence Associates, Igor!
