Eddisons promotes six

The Leeds-headquartered property group has made half a dozen senior level promotions in Yorkshire, including three new regional directors.

The promotions come across Eddisons’ valuations, plant and machinery, strategic advisory, insolvency and building consultancy teams.

Part of a programme of 17 promotions across the firm nationally, the move comes as Eddisons continues an aggressive growth strategy which has seen 10 acquisitions since 2015, four of them completed in 2023.

The business now employs more than 500 people across 30 offices UK-wide.

In the first of five elevations for Leeds-based staff, Jack Hutchinson has been promoted to be the firm’s youngest regional director at 33. He joined Eddisons as a graduate surveyor and has risen through the ranks, now heading the firm’s £1.5m-turnover valuation team across Yorkshire and the North East.

Javid Patel, who heads Eddisons’ public sector team from the Leeds office, has been promoted to Yorkshire and North East regional director for the firm’s strategic advisory services.

The team has been appointed to multiple government procurement frameworks including Crown Commercial Services, schools buying organisation ESP, Homes England and the new NHS advisory services framework. Patel joined from Cushman & Wakefield in 2019.

Richard Temple, who joined Eddisons as a graduate in 2007, has been made regional director in the plant and machinery division. He works with a range of clients including insolvency practitioners, insurers and private clients as well as providing specialist valuations.

Matt Hattersley has been promoted to director in the insolvency team, where he is involved in asset valuation and advisory, business recovery and restructuring. Also in Leeds, Phoebe Bousfield has been promoted to marketing communications manager.

In Sheffield, education sector specialist Jack Cooper has been made associate director in the building consultancy team.

Eddisons managing director Anthony Spencer said: “Huge congratulations to colleagues who have received these well-deserved promotions. Eddisons is one of the fastest growing property firms in the UK and that is undoubtedly down to the excellence, expertise and passion of our people.

“We are a client-focused organisation, committed always to striving to deliver the very best service, an ethos that is shared by all our team. That’s why as an employer we believe in nurturing talent, from our thriving apprenticeship programme to helping staff at all levels to progress, and this latest round of promotions is further testament to the success of that strategy.”
