Bob Hunt, former president of The Hunt Group, has accepted the position of vice president with HOKC and will head the Seattle consulting unit. Coming with him will be former Hunt associates Cathleen Vanek and Paula Gatzemeier. "The addition of The Hunt Group furthers the long-term commitment that HOK has made to the Northwest market,'' said Patrick McLeamy, Chief Operating Officer of HOK.

In January, HOK began implementing a two-year expansion plan for its consulting division in an attempt to increase revenue. The company, which offers architecture, engineering, planning, graphics and consulting services, has 10 offices in North America plus offices in London and Hong Kong.
