RLB continues to reward talent with the promotion of two new Directors in Queensland.

Managing Director Matt Long has announced the appointment of Raed Mitry and Jamie Smith as Directors, Gerard McGuigan as a Senior Associate, and We Mild Spaulding and John Maggacis as Associates– a move which he says recognises the calibre of RLB’s people and the growth of the firm.

These are important appointments for RLB in Queensland. We are delighted to appoint directors of the calibre of these individuals. They are highly respected across the Queensland property and construction sector. They consistently bring high level proficiency to the team to deliver our clients goals,’ said Matt.
