Property firm makes trio of hires after securing multi-million pound education projects
Property consultant Eddisons has boosted its building surveying division after securing education projects worth £4.5m.
Eddisons has appointed assistant building surveyors across its Yorkshire and North East offices. Adam Cliff and Callum Major have joined the firm’s Leeds office, while Mike McGoldrick has come on board at the newly launched Newcastle operation.
In recent months the firm says it has seen a surge in demand for its building surveying services from academy schools and sixth-form colleges in the North and in London that have successfully secured funding for refurbishment or expansion from the Government’s Education Funding Agency.
In the current round of Condition Improvement Fund (CIF) bids, Eddisons submitted a total of 14 applications, and secured capital funding for 11 academy schools for project costs of more than £4.5m.
Ian Harrington, Eddisons’ head of building surveying, said: “We are excited about starting work with our new education sector clients across the North and London following an excellent success rate in applications for finance from the annual CIF bidding round.”
He added: “All three of our new assistant building surveyors will play an important role in helping the team deliver a high standard of work and first class service and it is particularly rewarding to be able to use our expertise in a sector that helps to improve young people’s lives every day.
“We have been particularly proactive in winning new building surveying work recently and with financial budgets allocated for the new financial year, many of our existing clients are now also in a position to appoint Eddisons to take their projects forward.”
Eddisons launched its Newcastle office in January this year, headed by Adam Finch. With the latest appointment, the Newcastle team has expanded to four.
