We’re proud to announce that Jake Burnell has officially stepped into the role of Project Delivery Manager – Auditing at Plan B Group.

Jake’s appointment signals an exciting evolution in how we deliver, coordinate, and continually raise the benchmark in auditing excellence. His new role brings together our Field and Admin teams under one aligned vision — focused on people, performance, and fast-tracking developer success.

A Track Record of Building from the Ground Up

Jake joined Plan B as Auditing Operations Manager, bringing deep experience in the utilities sector and a clear passion for building from scratch.

“On day one, I was handed a desk, new tools, and the freedom to make an impact. It was a rare opportunity — I knew straight away this was a long-term move.”

From establishing the function to leading the growth of our Field Auditing team, Jake has helped set a new industry standard — shaping a culture where quality, collaboration, and innovation are embedded in everything we do.

Evolving Leadership, Expanded Scope

As Jake’s remit grows, his focus shifts from individual delivery to collective progress — empowering teams, streamlining coordination, and delivering real value across the business.

“I’m excited to take a more holistic view — helping our teams see the bigger picture, grow in their careers, and deliver outcomes that matter. When people feel supported and clear on their path, performance follows.”

Jake’s leadership style is grounded in observation, trust, and growth. Rather than being the “best auditor on the ground,” his goal has become enabling others to surpass him — fostering future leaders and building a confident, cohesive team.

Fast-Tracking Developer Success

Jake is energised by the opportunity to keep evolving how Plan B Auditing delivers value — refining how we work, deepening collaboration, and continuing to push the standard for audit quality and communication.

“We’ve built something special here. This next chapter is about raising the bar again — evolving our approach, pushing boundaries, and making our mark in the industry.”

His appointment is a strategic investment in our ability to fast-track settlements, streamline auditing, and support developers with confidence.

Congratulations, Jake — we’re proud to have you leading the next chapter of Plan B Auditing.
