Allsop expands Leeds team as regional business activity ramps up

Leading property consultancy Allsop has made nine new appointments to support the growth of its business in the North of England.

The firm has boosted its Commercial Valuation team by hiring Brett Harrison as Senior Associate and Ceara Duggan as Surveyor. Both hires were previously at Carter Towler and join Sally Beech and Sara Chalmers in the expanding Commercial Valuation team. The duo have been brought in to bolster the existing commercial valuation expertise and build a pipeline of locally sourced work.  Based out of the Leeds office, the newest members will operate throughout the northern regions and Scotland.

The Leeds office of the Residential Transactional and Living Markets team has gained Mark Ibbotson as Senior Associate, while Ciaran McGivney joined the Residential Valuation team as Senior Surveyor. Both Ciaran and Mark moved from Allsop’s London office.

New graduate recruits include William Ramshaw, Emma Hope and Tom Thornton. Jack Brady has been welcomed on to Allsop’s apprentice scheme, and Mairead Brady has been appointed as a Valuation Assistant.

James Wilson, Partner, Allsop Residential Transactional and Living Markets, said: “We have big plans for the Leeds office – over the past few months alone, we’ve had a number of medium and long-term instructions, which completely justify the need for new resources”.

“This much-anticipated team expansion will enable us to both maintain our high standards for existing clients and grow the business across the residential and commercial real estate sectors in the North of England, a strategically important region for our firm. We pride ourselves on providing best-in-class advice, and investing in new and existing talent has always been an essential component of Allsop’s success as a company.”
