An industrial agency surveyor who returns to the region after graduating from Bristol University has been appointed by Garness Jones.
Charlie Parkinson graduated with a BSc Honours in real estate in June and brings significant experience having spent 15 months on work placement with Yorkshire Water.
He said: “I went to Bristol because I felt I would benefit from heading further afield. The placement with Yorkshire Water brought me back to the region and gave me good experience of working on various aspects of estate management including landlord and tenant matters, selling and leasing land, and access rights.
“But I wanted the opportunity of taking on more responsibility in a smaller firm and during my last year at university I found out about Garness Jones and got to know some of the people here. The first few weeks have been incredibly busy with viewings, lettings and sales.
“The market here has changed a lot. People come here for City of Culture and they find it’s a great place. It’s an exciting time to be here and it’s good to be a part of it.”
