Managing DirectorSets the firm’s direction and leads major spatial planning commissions from brief to approval.
Nakhombe Consultants is still run by the directors who founded it. Planners, policy researchers, environmental scientists, surveyors and cost specialists sit in the same office in Blantyre, and several of them lecture in the faculties that train the next generation. When you commission us, these are the people who do the work.
These are the directors who founded the practice and still run it. Each one holds a portfolio, strategy, policy research, environmental compliance, urban design, survey and cost control, and each one reads and signs the reports that leave this office. You will deal with them directly, not with a name on a letterhead.
