Gateley Smithers Purslow expands in Birmingham

Gateley Smithers Purslow, the multidisciplinary surveying, engineering and architecture practice arm of professional services group Gateley, has appointed David Kellaway as regional manager to expand its Birmingham presence.

A chartered building surveyor with 20 years of experience at Rider Levett Bucknall and Arcadis, David has led complex projects across the public, commercial and healthcare sectors. 

He also mentors graduates through the RICS APC process.

David will be based at Gateley’s Edmund Street head office, working with Midlands regional director Alex Wright to develop the local offer.

He said: “I’m really excited to be joining Gateley Smithers Purslow with the opportunity to extend its multidisciplinary services to the Birmingham market and establish a team. 

“Being part of Gateley allows us to provide a specialist offering combining technical consultancy skills with legal expertise, and I’m looking forward to working with new colleagues and turning my hand to some great insurance reinstatement projects.”

Alex added: “David will play a key part in supporting our existing workload within the region, as well as further driving the strategic growth and development of our insurance and private works services. 

“He brings a wealth of experience, and we’re really pleased to have him on board in the Midlands.” 

The practice now has nearly 200 staff across the UK, with a Midlands presence in Glaston, Birmingham, Lincoln and Nottingham.
