CBRE has expanded its North West Building Consultancy team with a trio of appointments which will take the team total to 24. Through the appointment of a senior property figurehead, the team now offers an in-house QS service.
Steve Williamson has been appointed as a Director in Manchester, Dylan Evans as a Senior Surveyor in Liverpool and Nora Jarauta as a CAD/ Workplace Designer in the Manchester office.
Steve joins from Manchester City Council where he was Capital Programmes and Property Commercial Leader in charge of up to 30 Commercial Managers. Steve has an eclectic mix of experience having worked at a main contractor, PQS firm and client side. Previous to his Manchester City Council role, Steve was an Executive QS at Gleeds working on the £450m Media City mixed use scheme. At CBRE, Steve will focus on strengthening the cost consultancy services in the North West as well as offering traditional quantity surveying services, project monitoring, construction and fit-out consultancy.
Dylan joins CBRE to strengthen its Liverpool team, having worked previously at Capita Property and Infrastructure. Nora’s new role will involve strengthening the Occupier Services team and focussing on new office fit-out projects of which CBRE has several high-profile recent case studies such as New Balance’s EMEA HQ in Birchwood.
The new appointments will further strengthen the existing Building Consultancy team, which demonstrates an impressive track record with a clear market focus and experience servicing all clients from investors to developers, tenants and landlords across a broad range of sectors including offices, retail, leisure, healthcare, and banks/funds.
Angela Seddon, Head of CBRE’s North West Building Consultancy team, said; “We are delighted to welcome Steve, Dylan and Nora to the team as we enter a new phase of growth as investor and occupier confidence is rising. In particular, Steve’s wealth of experience will now enable CBRE to offer in-house quantity surveying at an outstanding level. The new appointments will strengthen the existing team to reflect the surge in market activity and ensure we are delivering a ‘best in class’ service to all existing clients and maximising all future opportunities.”
