National property consultants Bruton Knowles has announced James Bailey has been elected managing partner for a term of three years.
James joined Bruton Knowles in 1998 and has enjoyed a varied professional general practice career in the utility, public and commercial sectors.
He has been responsible for the Nottingham office since 2006 and under his leadership the Nottingham team has grown in size and standing in the market.

In his new role as managing partner James said: “As we enter a new phase in our long history as a Limited Liability Partnership, we are in an excellent position for the firm’s next stage of growth in a market which, although challenging, is full of opportunity.
“My focus going forward is to further build on our values of integrity and professionalism by continuing to provide quality advice to our clients and creating a vibrant environment for our people ensuring we have the strongest possible team in place.
“We enjoy a great strength and depth of talent across all the disciplines and will continue to build on our growing reputation.”
