About
Professional Summary
I started my career at JLL and upon qualification I worked within the Industrial and Logistics Team, becoming the Trade Counter specialist for the south west. I then transferred to the Student Housing Valuation Team where my role included valuing exisiting schemes as well as development schemes across the UK and Ireland.
In 2020, I moved to Avison Young to the commercial valuation team where I specalised in undertaking local authority annual asset valuations.
In August 2020 I joined Colliers in the Valuation team in Bristol as an Associate Director, working alongside Gemma Daly-Gunn.
My experience has lead me to relish the challenge of valuing complex properties or scenarios, seeking the best solution to determine value. I undertake a range of valuation work from secured lending and accounts valuations, to providing Local Authority annual asset valuations using DRC metholodgy where required, and valuing assets on a cash flow basis. Whilst I undertake valuation of core commercial assets, I have a particular interest in residential investment asset valuation, be it PBSA, HMOs, PRS or BtR.
