The Northern Team Grows with four new joiners

Two years ago, we took on the management of Churchgate and Lee Buildings when our Manchester team was started with two TUPE transfers. The northern team has continued to expand with four new appointments since December 2017, bringing the total up to 11.

Daniel Chalkin has joined us as a Surveyor from Longden and Cook Real Estate Limited, where over the past six years he managed a range of commercial and residential properties. Daniel will work on the day to day management for a number of Ashdown Phillips’ key clients.

Susan Hargreaves has joined from Bilfinger GVA and Bruntwood as an Assistant Facilities Manager. She will be assisting Julie Gunther in the management of Ashdown Phillips Manchester City Centre Assets.

Tim Crowther is based at our Manchester office on King Street as joined us in January 2017 as an Assistant Facilities Manager. Tim previously worked for Savills across their retail portfolio. He will be responsible for looking after assets outside of the City: including Audenshaw, Wrexham and Prestwich.

Laura Chick is our latest recruit and joined us as a Building Manager following the transfer of management of 35 Dale Street to Ashdown Phillips.

The northern appointments are four of the additions to the growing business, which has appointed 20 new members of staff over the past six months. We currently employ 80 people and have three offices in London, Manchester and East Sussex.

Our Managing Director, Richard Phillips added: “I would like to welcome Daniel, Susan, Tim and Laura to the company. They are all valuable additions bringing with them further experience and knowledge that will help enhance and increase capacity of our firm’s northern offer. We’ve seen increased demand in the region in the last 12 months and these appointments will allow us to continue to provide our clients with the highest standards of service as their portfolios as our company continue to grow”.
