Commenting on his appointment, Chris Wheaton said: “It’s great to be joining Pegasus at a time of exciting growth. I look forward to working closely with the wider Economics and Development Consultancy teams, combining my Development Viability expertise with Pegasus’ existing strengths, further building the team’s personnel, and adding to what is already a market-leading suite of planning and development services.”
Also commenting, Richard Cook, Head of Economics at Pegasus Group said: “In the current climate of economic uncertainty, Development Viability is an especially important factor across our client base. Chris’ experience is a perfect complement to our existing economic and development expertise and our Economics team will continue to go from strength to strength in 2026 with his arrival.”
