Tom Wheldon, director and head of Region at HBD, said: “David’s appointment forms a key part of our growth strategy as we continue to expand our portfolio across Yorkshire and the North East - he brings a huge amount of expertise and I’ve no doubt he will prove a real asset as we seek new opportunities across industrial and logistics, urban regeneration and residential.”

Bringing Jamie on board only strengthens our proposition and adds a much-needed resource to support our growth, we can’t wait to get started!”

Kim Stockburn & Tiffany Jackson, Milners

A YORKSHIRE law firm has bolstered its growing property team with a brace of new appointments, including one of the best-known names to people moving home in the county over the past 35 years.

Conveyancing executive Kim has been helping people buying or selling a home since 1987, not just throughout Harrogate and the wider Yorkshire district, but also across all areas of England and Wales.
