Mark Richards (pictured left) and Richard Thorpe (right) were promoted to the role this month, with both having been at the firm for well over a decade.

Richards joined Ridge in 1987 and having started in an entry-level role at the firm, he now leads its cost management team in the Oxford office.

Thorpe joined the practice in 2000 and has particular experience in overseas schemes, working for Ridge鈥檚 current Foreign and Commonwealth Office framework, delivering projects and consultancy services worldwide.

Ridge said the appointments show its 鈥渃ommitment鈥� to creating 鈥渟uccessful career paths鈥� for its employees.
