STUDENT PLANNER
Iestyn joined Asbri Planning’s Cardiff office in September 2024, completing a year-long placement as a Student Planner before continuing to work one day a week alongside his university studies. During his time at Asbri, he has gained experience working on a range of projects, including retail, commercial, leisure and residential developments. Having completed his undergraduate degree in Urban Planning and Development at Cardiff University, Iestyn is now studying for a Master’s degree while continuing to build on his practical experience at Asbri.
Iestyn is a fluent Welsh speaker having studied at Ysgol Bro Dinefwr in the Tywi Valley, Carmarthenshire. He is also a keen sportsman, playing rugby for his village team, Llandybie, and following his beloved Swansea City - the latter proving contentious with his colleagues in the Cardiff office! He also loves to travel across Europe and the USA.
