A FAST-GROWING Yorkshire property agency has recruited three new members of staff as it expands its presence in the county.
Experienced commercial agency surveyor, Andrew Spencer, has joined Bradley Hall Yorkshire from Fleurets, alongside specialist property valuer, Paul Dodds and graduate Dan Pawson.
The move comes as the company continues to grow its headcount at its Leeds head office, which currently stands at 10 full-time employees.
It also coincides with efforts to further expand its commercial property offering into more property markets and areas across West Yorkshire.
David Cran, Managing Director – Yorkshire at Bradley Hall, said: “We are really pleased to welcome Andrew, Paul and Dan to the team.
“Their arrivals come at an incredibly exciting juncture for the business as we look to build on what has been a whirlwind 18 months and continue growing our presence in the region.
“Having already established ourselves as one of the North East’s most active agents, we are now looking to apply the knowledge and experience we have accumulated and apply it to Yorkshire and in Andrew, we have the perfect person to really help us deliver this.
“Paul will also bring decades of experience working in the UK and abroad and in Dan, we have a graduate who has really impressed us with his knowledge and hunger to work towards his APC and develop his skills.
“I think I speak for everyone associated with the firm when I say we are delighted they have joined us and we’re sure they’ll really hit the ground running.”
Andrew Spencer has joined the company from Fleurets, having worked as an associate for the firm for over 16 years.
“Leeds has always held a special place in my heart, so I’m incredibly excited to have the opportunity to work with the team at Bradley Hall to further contribute to the growth and development of the city,” he said.
“Combine Bradley Hall's position as one of the North’s most active agencies and the vast experience of its team and there is no reason why the firm can’t establish itself as one of the region’s biggest players and I’m really relishing the challenge of helping make that a reality.”
Paul spent three years working as a valuer for the UK Government’s Valuation Office Agency prior to joining Bradley Hall Yorkshire, and before that worked in multiple roles for agencies in Beijing and for Avison Young.
He said: “It’s fantastic to be joining Bradley Hall Yorkshire at what is a really exciting time for the firm.
“David and the firm have established a really talented team who have already helped value some major properties across Leeds and the wider region, so I’m delighted to be joining them and to play a part in its continued growth as it continues to grow its presence across West Yorkshire.”
Dan Pawson is the latest in a string of graduates to be recruited by Bradley Hall as part of the company’s commitment to help young people break into the sector.
Having graduated from Leeds Beckett University with a degree in real estate, he will now be working with the company’s valuations team.
Speaking about his appointment, he said: “I am absolutely thrilled to begin my professional journey with the valuations team at Bradley Hall Yorkshire.
“In my first few weeks I’ve already had the chance to shadow some of the team and get a real feel for how valuing works and put what I learned at university into practice.
“They’ve been great at helping me bed in and I am really excited to see what the future holds.”
