The UK’s largest independent commercial property consultant and the Midlands leading national property advisor, GVA has announced a new appointment and promotion in its Investment Management Consultancy team.
Tori Robins has joined GVA from BNP Paribas Real Estate as a Senior Surveyor and will work on the management of The Water’s Edge leisure development at Brindleyplace, along with servicing national contracts for a number of fund management clients.
Jonathan Cooper has been promoted to Senior Surveyor following his successful work on the Prestbury Max Industrious portfolio and will now advise on their office portfolio
A part of the wider Property Management team, the 14-strong Property Investment Consultancy team offers a full range of advice and services to property investors and company fund managers, including due diligence and service charge audits. The team also provides property and facilities management services and manages clients’ multi-let portfolios.
Guy Thompson, Director and Regional Head of Property Investment Consultancy, said: “The appointment of Tori and promotion of Jonathan to Senior Surveyor positions strengthens our team for 2013 and is a reaction to a number of new instructions and appointments.
“Our approach has always been to build a strong relationship with our clients, both on national and regional platforms and to leave no stone unturned in our efforts of finding new opportunities. We expect to see little rental or capital value growth in 2013, therefore protecting income and minimising risk remains very high on our clients’ list of priorities.
“The full service approach that we can offer through the Midlands office combined with our ability to share market knowledge both internally and with our clients, has proven to be a worthwhile and effective approach in helping our clients to weather the stormy conditions of the last few years.”
The Property Investment Consultancy team has been appointed by Opus Land to manage Opus Aspect in Birmingham and will provide property management consultancy and service charge strategy to Friargate LLP on their major redevelopment in Coventry.
