RLB is continuing to reward talent with the promotion of two new directors in Queensland.

“These are important appointments for RLB in Queensland,” Long said.

“We are delighted to appoint directors of the calibre of these individuals. They are highly respected across the Queensland property and construction sector and consistently bring high-level proficiency to the team to deliver our clients goals.”

“This year is special to us as we celebrate 60 years since Rider Levett Bucknall’s establishment in Queensland in 1962.

“I am pleased to welcome Raed and Jamie to the leadership team as we enter an exciting next phase.

“I also congratulate Gerard McGuigan. We Mild Spaulding and John Maggacis on their appointments.”
