Richard Asher, Director, Savills
I am a Chartered Surveyor and Registered Valuer working in the Savills’ Development Department. I have specialised in CPO work for many years. I was a member of the steering group which set up the CPA, a founding member and the second Chairman. I have also served as Chair of the RICS Global Planning and Development Professional Group Board, and am a former Chair of the RICS Compulsory Purchase Policy Panel (which I remain a member of). Currently, I am an elected member of the RICS Governing Council. I also serve on the BPF planning committee.
I am standing to serve on the CPA Board, because I am keen to utilise my skills and experience to ensure that the CPA remains the most important multi-disciplinary association in the compulsory purchase sector. I am very anxious to promote the recruitment and training of younger members of the discipline, and fully support the YCPA as a way of engaging with younger people, I believe the YCPA should be encouraged to pursue its own agenda.
