New hires bolster Vail Williams in Thames Valley

Vail Williams has expanded its property asset management (PAM) team in the Thames Valley with two new appointments based in its Reading office.

Shane O’Reilly joins as an associate, bringing over 20 years’ experience in commercial property management. 

He will manage portfolios for Wokingham and Woking Borough Councils, drawing on previous roles at Colliers and JLL.

Emma Cooper has also joined as a senior surveyor. 

She brings a background in managing nationwide property portfolios, with expertise in lease management, acquisitions and refurbishments.

The appointments support Vail Williams’ ongoing growth and commitment to full-service property consultancy.

Carl Grint, who heads Vail Williams’ PAM operations nationally, said: “The PAM sector continues to expand as clients seek to utilise their assets in the most cost-effective and advantageous way.

“It is incumbent on us to deliver profitability by getting under the skin of our clients and their buildings to ensure every aspect of management is successfully covered off.

“I welcome our two recruits to the PAM team, which came after a robust selection process. 

“I place a great emphasis on the integrity of every team member, so we do not appoint lightly.

“Shane and Emma have proved to us that they are completely capable of maintaining and improving the second-to-none client service for which Vail Willaims is rightly acclaimed. 

“I have great hopes for them both and they have certainly hit the ground running, fitting in seamlessly with colleagues.”
