Under Nick’s leadership, our building consultancy team has grown seven times larger, with a turnover eight times that when he joined.

Nick has been known to remark “we don’t need to travel to work on a hoverboard to prove we’re cutting edge” – and he’s right. Instead, with his strong local market knowledge, he maintains a watchful eye on the future market outlook, steering our clients steadily with sound strategic advice.
Nick can’t sit still; he has admirable drive and determination. Day-to-day he’ll be directing a multi-million-pound film studio scheme, a site at a world-class university; working with our capital markets team on science park investment; or involved in promoting land for development.
Clients like working with Nick because he’s both consultative and direct. He’ll listen carefully to your objectives and challenge you to think outside the box; his understanding of the economic market position means he often uncovers ways to positively impact your business strategy.
In the office, Nick takes a personal interest in investing time coaching colleagues and delights in seeing more junior members come into their own.
