DOMINIC TOWLER has joined Colliers International in Leeds as a surveyor in its national offices team.
He joins from Sanderson Wetherhall where he was part of the office agency team.
Roddy Morrison, director of Colliers’ Leeds national offices team, said: “In October last year we advised Carlsberg UK on the disposal of its landmark former brewery site at South Bank to Vastint, the property arm of InterIKEA. The deal was a landmark transaction not just for the Leeds City Region but the whole of the North of England. We are working on some exciting projects and need to ensure that we are well placed and have the capacity to help our current clients accelerate their success, as well as take on more new work.
“It’s clearly an exciting time for the Leeds’ commercial property sector and we are bolstering our team with best in class talent in preparation for a busy period. Dominic has built a great foundation of experience over the past couple of years and will no doubt be a great asset to our existing team.”
