Midlands property consultancy Harris Lamb has swelled its ranks with the addition of three new recruits at its Birmingham office.
The consultancy’s Francis Road team has welcomed experienced planning consultant Laurence Holmes on board, along with graduate building surveyor David May. Local graduate Alex Eagleton has also joined the business after achieving a BSc (Hons) in Real Estate in Sheffield.
Richard Fantham, director of the consultancy, said: “Harris Lamb has been growing steadily over the past year and we needed to expand on the talented workforce we already have. We’ve spent some months trying to find the right candidates as it’s essential that we ensure a good fit with the existing team, and we’re confident that we’ve found it.
“With the emphasis we’ve put into developing and growing our retail arm, we’re delighted to have Laurence Holmes join us from DPP in London, where he’s accrued a wealth of experience and demonstrated a real passion for retail planning, overseeing major applications for food store and extension schemes.
“We believe that his strengths and insight will be a valuable asset to the rest of the team, and we are thrilled to welcome him on board.
“In addition to Laurence, David May has joined the team as a graduate building surveyor after relocating to the Midlands from Manchester, where he achieved a BSc (Hons) in building surveying and honed his skills with PR Gibbs & Co as a property inspector and leasehold manager. David will be a great support to our existing planning team and we look forward to helping to further his experience,” said Richard.
Sutton Coldfield graduate Alex Eagleton has also just begun his career with Harris Lamb further to completing a degree in Sheffield. He joins the consultancy’s Agency team.
Laurence said: “Having celebrated 20 years in business this year, Harris Lamb has a proven track record for being a successful, established and respected property consultancy.
“That reputation, along with the driven, dynamic and knowledgeable team that I’ll be working alongside, attracted me to this role. I look forward to helping drive the business forward and making the most of the opportunities the position presents.”
