BITE-SIZED UPDATES FROM ACROSS THE CITY’S BOOMING SECTOR The Pick Everard team is expanding as part of its ambitious growth plans
CONGRATS!
CONTRACT COUP
Property consultancy Lambert Smith Hampton has boosted its South West building consultancy division; appointing David Bridges as associate director after his six years working in the Northampton office, across the full spectrum of building consultancy services. David joined LSH as a graduate in 2010 following the completion of his masters in building surveying, and achieved chartered status in 2013. During his time in the East Midlands, David worked with clients across both the public and private sectors, including Essex County Council, Henderson Property Fund, Heineken and Exova. “Having been with LSH for several years, I know I am already part of an ambitious and enterprising business focused on delivering outstanding client services,” he said. “My new role will see me supporting the team’s further growth, servicing existing clients while developing new opportunities in the wider region." Simon Redgers, head of building consultancy South West, added: “David has proven himself to be an excellent asset and I have no doubt that his significant experience will be invaluable.”
The project management team at property consultancy JLL in Bristol has been instructed on two major new office fit-outs at One Cathedral Square. The two contract wins cover the whole building with Dyson and University of Bristol taking two floors each, comprising a combined 56,059sqft of office space. Both organisations are due to move into the building in spring 2018. The instructions represent the continuation of JLL’s long-standing relationship with the University of Bristol and the team’s first instruction from Dyson – on their first long-term commitment in Bristol city centre. “We are delighted to have secured One Cathedral Square to continue to provide our staff with high quality office space and are pleased to have JLL on board,” said the University of Bristol’s head of capital projects, Andrew Casselden. Adam Staite, associate director in JLL’s project management team, added: “We look forward to bringing to both projects our extensive recent fit-out experience, working with major clients and our own experience from our recent office move to 31 Great George Street.”

CHOICE PICKS Leading independent property, construction and infrastructure consultancy Pick Everard has expanded its Bristol team with three new appointments as part of its ambitious growth plans. The team – which recently unveiled its new-look office after undergoing a full re-fit – already offers a multitude of construction consultancy services to its clients. However, the addition of three new senior team members means that they will be able to broaden and develop their offering even further. Among Pick Everard’s new starters is Edward Carter, who joins as director of strategic asset services. With more than 30 years’ experience in the sector, Edward will lead the development and growth of Pick Everard’s facilities and asset management consultancy across the whole business. “Pick Everard has always been an innovative firm and I have been impressed by the organisation, and its employees, when I’ve encountered them in my previous role at property consultant and facilities management company Mace Macro,” he said. “I’m delighted to have joined the Bristol office; the construction industry in the region is doing incredibly well, with considerable investment being seen across the South West and a number of transformative projects on the horizon.” Richard Evely and Mark Gaylor have also joined the firm, heading up the quantity surveying and structural engineering teams. Since opening its doors in March, the Bristol team has gone from strength to strength, working with major clients in the South West area such as EDF Energy and both North and South Somerset Council. Rod Burton, partner at Pick Everard added: “The Bristol office is seeing more work coming in than ever from local authorities, private sector companies and major frameworks such as Scape. Edward, Richard and Mark will not only be instrumental in delivering projects for these clients, but they will also enable us to deliver more work to a wider selection of clients. Now is a really exciting time for the team; we’re looking forward to delivering significant new schemes across the region.” • pickeverard.co.uk
