Richard Pilbrow, founder of Theatre Projects Consultants, has announced that ownership of the firm has been transferred to a new generation of leaders. The transition allows key members of staff to take on both leadership and ownership of Theatre Projects Consultants and provides for ownership to extend to other members of the firm in the future.

The new structure is designed to increase collaboration with the company's United Kingdom office. The leadership team in the UK includes David Staples, Alan Russell, Jerry Godden, Mark Stroomer, Marion Daehms, and Andrew De Rosa.
"For the past few years, we have been planning this ownership transition of the US and UK companies to the younger members of our team, and we feel that now is the right time for that change," said Mr. Pilbrow, who will continue his involvement as Founder and Chairman Emeritus. Brian Hall will continue to support the company in his role as Principal Theatre Designer. In the UK, several senior colleagues are retiring from the company, including Iain Mackintosh, Lou Fleming, and Anthony Field.
