North East building company increases workforce by 40 per cent with Yorkshire hires

A North East building consultancy has announced that it is expanding its Yorkshire team following an upturn in client activity.

Silverstone Building Consultancy, founded in Newcastle, will be increasing its team in Leeds by four - a 40 per cent increase in workforce for the company overall.

This comes following news that Silverstone Leeds has seen turnover rise in the first quarter of 2020 in comparison to 2019.

This follows a profitable first year where 67 per cent of business came from new clients.

Ben Rennocks, director at Silverstone, commented: “Since December, which may in part be due to increased political stability, we have seen an upturn in activity with our clients looking at investment opportunities and wanting to get on and resolve property related problems they have.”

Richard Farrey, co-founder and director at Silverstone, added: “In the last two years we have appointed a non-executive director and a financial manager to help us with our long term strategy to become the first choice building surveyors for the north of England and with their help we are continuing to work towards this goal.

“We are now looking for some talented individuals who share our positive can-do working ethos to join our growing team.”
