Tom, an RICS registered valuer, joins Eddisons with over 15 years property industry experience, including more than a decade in Lambert Smith Hampton’s NW valuation division as associate director and then director. He returns to the UK to take up his new Manchester-based role after spending six months as a senior valuer in Western Australia for Cygnet West.

Tim Richardson has joined the firm’s Midlands team with over two decades commercial property industry experience, including 10 years as a director at FHP Property Consultants in Derby and most recently at Doncaster-based Barnsdales’ East Midlands operation.

Phil Deakin, who heads Eddisons’ over-100-strong valuation team, said providing high quality valuation advice across the commercial and residential markets was an area in which the firm was leading. “We have an enviable client list and are seeing really strong growth in demand for high quality valuation advice, which spans everything from loan security, company accounts, regulated services, and charities act reports, as a well as RICS Red Book compliant valuation reports for lenders, individuals and businesses.”

He added: “We are really pleased to welcome Tom and Tim as the latest high-calibre colleagues to take up strategic director roles within our team across the North West and the Midlands. Eddisons continues to go from strength to strength as a business and senior appointments like these are key to driving that growth and continually striving to improve our service to clients.”

Eddisons is one of the country’s fastest growing property consultancies, employing more than 450 people across 30 offices. The firm topped the EG Radius 2024 property deals tables as the year’s most active commercial property agent across England.
