Raul was one of the Group's most prominent and award winning architects and responsible for a string of notable buildings. More recently as non-executive chairman he led the board in helping set and oversee the Group's strategic plans.
On behalf of all ASG shareholders we thank Raul for his inestimable contribution over many decades."
