Mather Jamie goes for expansion with new hire

Mather Jamie has appointed a new associate director.

Richard Pitt, from Wolverhampton, has been taken on in the newly-created role to manage several current development schemes in the region, while also identifying and securing new opportunities further afield.

Pitt said: “With 15 years of residential land planning under my belt, and having been closely involved in projects involving hundreds of new homes in the Midlands, working both for local authorities and private developers, I have a broad understanding and firm grasp of the development process, and of the urgent need for new housing in our region.

“Mather Jamie is one of the most renowned chartered surveyors in the East Midlands, with an increasing presence in the West Midlands and beyond, and I was struck by the calibre of their retained clients and impressed by the high standard of work they’ve done in securing quality sites of all sizes and in all types of locations.”

Andrew Bamber, director of Mather Jamie, said; “Richard brings with him a formidable working knowledge of the residential land planning process, from the perspective of both developers and local authorities, which gives him valuable insight.

“He has helped deliver major new housing schemes to regions in which our clients are looking to operate, and his professional, experienced and friendly attitude fits in very well with how we like to work. We welcome him to the team, and wish him all the best.”
