Lambert Smith Hampton (LSH) has invested in the growing warehouse and distribution market in the West Midlands by expanding its industrial team.

Harvey joins LSH from Peel Land and Property in Manchester where he was an assistant land agent. He also spent a year on placement at Knight Frank in Birmingham where he focused on the industrial sector.

Ruddgained a degree in Rural Property Management at Harper Adams University after returning to study as a mature student.

He said: “This is an exciting time for me to be returning to the industrial and logistics market. There is a huge amount of activity in a rapidly evolving and sophisticated sector given the new developments in technology and consumer spending patterns.

“I’m very pleased to be working in Birmingham again and it’s great to see how much the city has moved on in the relatively short period of time since I was last here.”

Rudd joined LSH on their Graduate Scheme in September 2017 after gaining a first class degree in Real Estate at Birmingham City University.

He said: “I have enjoyed rotating between departments within the Birmingham office, but my most enjoyable time has been spent in industrial agency and I am delighted to commit my future to this team working in such an important and dynamic sector.”

Coventry and Warwickshire Chamber of Commerce’s new president has said his first priority is to tackle the shortage of employment land in the area.

David Penn, of Bromwich Hardy, takes over from John Nollett and follows in the footsteps of his grandfather, Sydney Penn, who was president of the junior chamber in Coventry in the 1930s.

Penn, who has worked as a property professional in the region for more than 20 years, said his priority is to ensure there is enough employment land for Coventry and Warwickshire’s economy to continue to grow.

He said: “I am very passionate about Coventry and Warwickshire and I am passionate about business and the role it plays in making this region a great place to live and work.

“That is why it is absolutely vital that we tackle the issue around the chronic shortage of employment land. It is a topic that the Chamber of Commerce has been very vocal about in recent years and I want to make sure our voice continues to be heard.

“We need land supply for companies to be able to expand and also to attract inward investors into the area to create jobs and opportunities here.”
