Avid opens office agency arm

AVID Property Consultants has opened a new office agency arm based in Manchester city centre.
The firm, which already provides project management, development monitoring and building surveying consultancy from a base in Chester, has appointed Justin Rouse to head the new service.
He has more than 15 years’ experience of the North West property market, most recently with Manchester-based P3 Property Consultants.
Lee Jones, partner of Avid, said: “With our strong national client base, the expansion of our services and Justin’s appointment are a natural progression in response to their growing requirements, as well as being testament to our hard work.”
“We’re delighted to have now increased our capacity to offer further expertise and Justin’s addition is crucial in taking the company to the next level of competition.
Avid was set up by Jones alongside Jeremy Powell, Mark Searle and Richard Street in 2010. Its clients include Aviva Investors, Standard Life Investments, F&C REIT Asset Management, U.S.S, AXA, Hill Dickinson, University of Manchester and Muse Developments.
