A Midlands commercial property agency has expanded its footprint across the region by opening a new office.
Innes England, which has bases in Derby, Leicester and Nottingham, has launched a new office in Birmingham's business district. The new team is led by director and chartered surveyor Adam Rock.
He joins from Bruton Knowles where he spent 12 years and has a widespread knowledge of the commercial property landscape, particularly valuations, rent reviews, lease renewals, and business rates.
Innes England is based in Cornwall Buildings in Newhall Street.
Mr Rock said: "It's an exciting opportunity - it's like a fresh page and I'm looking forward to building up the business here.
"The focus is on the valuation side but we will also be bolstering with some of our other divisions.
"Birmingham is a really dynamic and thriving city and the amount of investment that has gone into it over the last ten years is incredible. It has attracted many world-class businesses and has massively invested in infrastructure.
"There are so many new developments and of course there's HS2 as well. It's a really good news story that the city is on the up."
Innes England's managing director Matt Hannah added: "We are proud of our work across the East Midlands and a move to Birmingham seemed a natural progression.
"We already have a number of clients who have a regional office in the city and have carried out a number of successful sales transactions.
"Birmingham is a very exciting market which has been attracting global occupiers who already have a London base, as well as being at the heart of the Midlands Engine economic partnership.
"We are delighted to welcome Adam. He has an excellent reputation in the business and will help us to drive this venture and ensure its success.
"We will continue to grow the team and support the business with our core work streams of building surveying, agency, management and our specialist teams in education, roadside, and residential land."
