The regeneration consultancy has appointed Daniel Starkey as an associate director at the firm’s head office in Leeds.

Starkey joins the expanding firm following more than five years with planning, masterplanning and architecture consultancy business Spawforths, where he became a senior associate, specialising in strategic planning services in the land promotion team.

In this position, Starkey led on site finding, viability matters and advising on the acquisition and sale of development land.

Prior to that the chartered town planner and chartered surveyor was a strategic land manager with Barratt Developments, a planner at Harron Homes and a planning assistant with Craven District Council.

Led by chairman Atam Verdi and managing director Ben Aspinall, the AspinallVerdi team serving Yorkshire from 46 The Calls, has a widening client base including North Yorkshire Council, Kirklees Council, Potter Space, Sky-House, Cheyne Capital and others.

Aspinall said: “We have grown our client base both in Yorkshire and nationally in recent years and Daniel’s strategic appointment will further enhance our ability to provide our valued clients in the public and private sectors with comprehensive and high-quality property advice.”

Founded in 2009, the business now has a workforce of more than 30 at its headquarters in Leeds and offices in Newcastle, Liverpool, Birmingham and London.
