Industry consultancy Naismiths is targeting growth across the Northern England by appointing four new experienced surveyors.
Chris Wilman, the former Head of Department at Currie & Brown, has joined the company as Director and will lead Naismiths' building surveying team in Manchester, helping the firm extend a period of rapid expansion across the Northern Powerhouse region.
In addition, he is joined by Senior Surveyor Matt Gaffey and Assistant Surveyor Chris Greasley. Together with Senior Surveyor Steven McKay, who has joined Naismiths' office in Leeds from Cushman & Wakefield, the new appointees will help boost Naismiths' capability and drive continued growth across the North.
Gareth Belsham, National Head of Building Surveying at Naismiths, said: Chris, Matt, Chris and Steven have joined Naismiths at an exciting, challenging and rewarding time. The firm is enjoying sustained growth across all its UK operations, but the Northern market has emerged as a real hotspot – meaning our teams in Manchester and Leeds are playing a key role in our success.
"Our new recruits bring a trusted pedigree, extensive market knowledge and considerable energy. Together they will ramp up our capability across the Northern Powerhouse, helping us protect more clients' interests and deliver best value at all stages of investment, construction and operation.
"We've worked hard to assemble a team with blue chip experience and first-class CVs who will help us increase our traction in this critical market and stay true to Naismiths' tried and tested philosophy – we seek to be the best, not the biggest."
