On the move: the latest East Midlands hires
Russell Scanlan, the Nottingham insurance broker, has appointed Samantha Gray as senior account handler.
Gray brings with her 31 years of experience.
She said: “Russell Scanlan’s broad range of clients gives me the opportunity to apply my experience and knowledge. Many of them operate in key sectors and are important, in terms of productivity and jobs, to the success of the Midlands Engine which aims to boost the region’s economy.”
She added: “There are some interesting and challenging opportunities, not least how businesses are going to be affected by the Chancellor’s Autumn statement on the 23rd of November, as well as the wider, long term implications of Brexit.”
Bryan Banbury, managing director at Russell Scanlan, said: “Samantha joins a very experienced team and will be an asset advising clients across a number of business sectors. We are enjoying a busy period of activity and Samantha’s appointment consolidates the team’s approach to providing innovative and customer focused services across the SME sector as well as our larger clients.”
Northants-based Mulberry Developments has strengthened its residential team with a series of appointments.
Alex Smithers has become senior land manager and Liam Foweather appointed head of legal services from Berwin Leighton Paisner. They join new finance manager Zoe Garrod, Brian Cox as senior quantity surveyor, Steven Knolls as development and construction manager and Danielle Mills as development administrator. Three new appointments have been made at site level to include Tim Ashton, Jason Mahon and Greg Driscoll.
Steve Mitchell, residential director at Mulberry Developments, said: “I am delighted to welcome our new team members, who bring with them a huge amount of depth to an already successful team.
“As part of our growth strategy, we aim to increase the number of homes we complete annually to 250 and each new team member is integral in meeting these expansion plans.”
