Personal Profile
Richard Newton, BSc (Hons), M.R.I.C.S., A.C.I.Arb
The professional career of Richard Newton initially followed the traditional route of obtaining an honours degree in Quantity Surveying at Trent Polytechnic (now Nottingham Trent University) and subsequent qualification as a Chartered Quantity Surveyor.
The economic downturn of the early 1980's ensured that the future pattern of career development would be anything but traditional, commencing with a 12-month assignment in Saudi Arabia with a major Dutch contractor. On return to the UK there followed engagements on a number of major commercial schemes as an independent surveyor.
Consolidating on the range of experience gained in the post-recession period of the mid-80's Richard Newton founded the Practice of Richard Newton Associates in 1987.
Since 1987 the Practice has become well established having advised developers in the procurement of a range of buildings and specialising in providing commercial support to general contractors and sub-contractors, having assisted on a large number of major developments, many located in Central London.
Richard Newton is an Associate of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators.
