Bristol-based Bruton Knowles has confirmed ambitious expansion plans, by appointing three specialist experts and relocating to a larger office.

The leading property consultancy, which opened in Bristol just five years ago, has seen tremendous growth, and is now relocating to a larger office in Bradley Stoke, to help bolster and expand its service.

Bruton Knowles has also appointed Senior Lands Right Technician, Chris Cornfold and recent graduates, Ben Johnson and Doug Oldfield as Junior Lands Right Technicians.

Chris joins the team with more than eight years’ experience within the utilities sector, having worked for Bruton Knowles’ long-term client, National Grid. As part of his new role, he will be responsible for Bruton Knowles’ role in the Hinkley Point C nuclear power station project in Somerset, which is currently the consultancy’s largest utilities project.

Bruton Knowles’ clients, which include Western Power Distribution, National Grid, Cadent Gas and Thames Water, will also benefit from the new office’s commutable transport links. While the team will continue providing valuation, agency and professional services to the centre of Bristol, the site is in easy access via the M4, M5 and M32.

James Bailey, Managing Partner at Bruton Knowles said:

“The appointment of industry-respected experts with specialist knowledge will allow us to meet demand efficiently, while responding to a market which is always changing and evolving.

“This is a very exciting time for Bruton Knowles. We have the skills and resources to support clients on a national level and I look forward to the continued development of the Bristol team.”

Bruton Knowles is an independently-owned national property consultancy with 12 offices across the UK. Its large multi-disciplinary team is highly experienced in sale and purchase, valuation, leasing and strategy across commercial, rural and urban property, and has specialist expertise in utilities, public sector and social housing.
