He said: “The new role highlights a real commitment to the Yorkshire market and I’m pleased to take up the reins. I look forward to working in partnership with the Leeds team and the wider firm to drive future growth and investment.

“We’ve seen a real uplift in activity in the local market, and through collaboration and cohesion we will build on this momentum to maximise opportunities across Yorkshire, the UK and internationally.”
