The Manchester office of CBRE has appointed two new positions within its North West Valuation Advisory team as a direct result of the improving regional market. Gareth Hughes joins as Associate Director and James Kington joins as a Surveyor.
The North West team collectively values circa £3.75bn of property in the North West for institutional funds and circa £5bn worth of property for banks, building societies and property companies. This includes the majority of prime office, industrial and retail properties within the North West.
CBRE values almost 40 per cent of IPD and is therefore a market leader offering a wealth of knowledge which is essential in providing up to date accurate valuation advice. This close contact with the major institutions assists CBRE in servicing its local North West clients.
The Valuation team now consists of two Directors, three Associate Directors, two Senior Surveyors, one Surveyor and a Graduate. CBRE is the only major firm to maintain an office in Liverpool where its presence remains key.
Siobhan Fraser, Head of Valuation Advisory for the North West at CBRE, said; “We are delighted to welcome James and Gareth as valuable additions to our growing team. The two new appointments will position us well to deal with the increasing pick-up in the market and allow us to deliver the breadth and depth of commercial property expertise and client service for which CBRE is well known.”
