Bruton Knowles expands with Newcastle office

A national Chartered surveyor has expanded with a North East office.

Bruton Knowles has opened a base on Newcastle’s Cobalt Business Park.

Bosses say it will support growth plans across the utilities, infrastructure and valuation services sectors.

The move comes after the company’s national valuation team experienced 40 per cent growth over the last year.

The opening also coincides with the arrival of associate Donna Alderson, who brings 17-and-a-half years’ experience to the firm, having previously worked at Newcastle City Council, Edisons and BNP Paribas.

James Bailey, managing partner, said: “Our Newcastle hub is the next phase of our growth strategy.

“We are looking at other regions to continue our expansion, and ways in which we can help service existing and prospective clients.

“And with the appointment of Donna, we are adding a great deal of experience to our already record-breaking team.”

Donna added: “Valuation work has been the main passion I’ve had throughout my career, and it’s where I feel I really excel. 

“It was clear Bruton Knowles was serious about growing and enhancing its services in the North East, which made it a quick decision for me to come and join the national valuation team.”

Bruton Knowles’ Newcastle office joins 14 further bases across the UK, which include sites in Bristol, Cardiff, Glasgow and Leeds.
