Property consultancy JLL has boosted its property and asset management team in Leeds and Yorkshire and the North East with the announcement of a new lead director and recruitment of two surveyors.
Paul Curson has taken over as lead director of the 11-strong property and asset management team based in Leeds. Paul has been with the firm for 22 years and a director for the last six.
The team has also been boosted by two new staff appointments.
Nicola Godfrey has been appointed to the team as a senior surveyor having moved from her asset manager role at Leeds based Town Centre Securities. She has worked in commercial property for the last seven years and qualified in 2014.
Daniel Knowles has also joined the team as a surveyor. Daniel has 12 years’ property experience and has worked primarily across Yorkshire in property lettings and sales.
Paul Curson, director of JLL’s property and asset management team in Leeds, said: “After 22 years with JLL, I’ve seen the business go from strength to strength and the quality and quantity of the assets under our management increase significantly. It is a very exciting time to be taking on this role and to be working with such an experienced and dedicated team of professionals.”
The team manages commercial property assets on behalf of pension funds and investment and property companies and is currently responsible for over nearly 200 properties and 1,300 tenants across Yorkshire and the North East.
Jeff Pearey, head of JLL’s Yorkshire and North East region, added: “Paul has played a key part in driving growth in our property management business and his experience made him the clear choice to lead the team for the region.”
