Chartered surveyor re-elects managing partner

James Bailey has been re-elected as managing partner of chartered surveyor Bruton Knowles for another three-tear term.

Bailey is based in the firm’s Nottingham office, which recently moved out of the city centre and onto East Bridgford Business Park.

He joined the business in 1988 and became managing partner in 2017.

He said: “We’ve used this year to review our current strategy and create a new approach to drive the business forward. Areas of potential profit growth have been identified and we’ve launched a new National Valuations team alongside a Utilities and Infrastructure (U&I) team to capitalise on these opportunities.

“In addition, we’ve acquired a strong rural surveying practice with an excellent reputation and established client base in The West Midlands, with significant scope to expand into new areas for the business.

“My approach has always been to utilise the skill set within the firm to identify growth revenues, whilst working closely with our clients to deliver an honest, transparent and expert service, showcased by the number of industry leading and longstanding clients we serve – National Grid, Network Rail, Scottish Power and HS2 to name a few.

“Looking ahead to 2021, I am delighted to have been re-elected as managing partner. I will be focused on the further development of our strategic post lockdown strategy, whilst handling any yet to be seen implications from Brexit. We remain positive in that we can continue to do what we do best – deliver high quality consultancy advice for a wide range of clients – ultimately supporting the economic recovery of the country.”
