Our people & leadership
Senior-led, owner-side construction consultancy for complex and high-risk projects.
Vanor Advisory was co-founded by Barry Winters and Graeme Kyle to provide independent client-side advice, structured governance and programme assurance for complex development mandates. Between them, our directors have worked on projects with a combined value exceeding £7bn across their careers in prior roles (rather than all undertaken under Vanor Advisory), bringing direct major-project experience to every mandate.
