Herbert R Thomas (HRT) has announced the appointment of a new partner to grow its commercial department.
The multi-discipline property agency, which has offices in Cowbridge, Neath and Bridgend, has promoted James Mordecai, 28, from Cowbridge, to partner following seven years with the company.
Mr Mordecai joined the company in 2007 as a commercial surveyor after graduating from The Royal Agricultural College with an honours degree in Property Agency and Marketing. He also qualified as a Member of The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors in 2010.
Since his appointment, Mr Mordecai has been actively involved in growing the commercial department of HRT, which includes the acquisitions and disposals of industrial, retail and office property together with development land. He has helped provide clients with a diverse range of offerings including valuations, development appraisals and consultation services.
Mr Mordecai is a RICS Registered Valuer and is active on the HSBC, Lloyds TSB, RBS, Principality Building Society and Handelsbanken valuation panels.
As partner, Mr Mordecai will continue to grow the commercial department, focussing particularly on the Bridgend area following the opening of the company’s office in Bridgend earlier this year.
James Mordecai said: “I’m thrilled to have been promoted to partner at HRT at such an exciting time for the company given our recent expansion into Bridgend. We’ve got a great team and I’m looking forward to the opportunity of further developing the firm’s commercial division. There is huge potential for us in the marketplace and my aim is for us to become recognised as one of the key players within the national and local commercial markets.”
Andrew Thomas, partner at HRT, said: “We have continued to grow our commercial department in recent years enabling us to offer a one-stop-shop professional package for all land and property related matters, be they commercial or residential. It’s down to people like James that we’ve been so successful. We’re delighted to be in a position to open our third office and we know James will be a vital part of our future expansion. James’ promotion to partner is a testament of his hard work and is richly deserved.”
