Two new hires at Doncaster property consultancy create biggest commercial team in city

A leading property consultancy in Doncaster has made two new hires in its commercial team as it becomes the biggest of its kind in the city.

Fisher German has welcomed senior associate Charlie Wood and graduate surveyor Jess Berry into the team, growing it to six.

The team, which negotiates and completes deals in a wide range of commercial sectors, including industrial, retail, office, and investment, is now looking to build on this momentum.

Charlie Wood joins the Doncaster team after previous experience working in London as a chartered surveyor and several years in consultancy in Sydney, Australia.

He said: “With the growth of the industrial market in Doncaster, it offers a fantastic opportunity to expand the commercial team client base, with many businesses locating to the city.

“I’m really pleased to have joined the team and I’m looking forward to completing existing commercial transactions as well as identifying new opportunities across the region.”

Jess Berry joined the team after graduating from Nottingham Trent University with a degree in Real Estate.

She added: “Fisher German was a natural choice for me after my studies, as the firm has a brilliant reputation for supporting its graduates and giving them plenty of opportunities to advance their careers.

“The team in Doncaster are ambitious about what they can achieve in the city and the region beyond, so I’m excited to work alongside and learn from such a breadth of experience.”

Miles Youdan, investment Partner at Fisher German’s Doncaster office who heads up the commercial transactional team, said: “Charlie and Jess join the team at a very exciting time, as the growth in the commercial market in and around Doncaster and Sheffield, has led to an increase in opportunities for both occupiers and investors to acquire property.

“Major projects like Doncaster North and Gateway East are showing the appetite for investment in the region, and we wanted to grow our team to meet that demand.

“We are already seeing an increase in instructions, with two new large office letting instructions in Sheffield and three new industrial sales instructions in Doncaster. We’re confident this increased activity will continue thanks to more and more companies viewing Doncaster, Sheffield and the surrounding areas as great places to do business.

“Charlie and Jess offer further expertise and they will be fantastic additions to the commercial team.”
