Warrington-based healthcare property investor Assura PLC has added a new chartered surveyor to its specialist team, to support its growing portfolio of GP surgery and primary care buildings.

Maria Oakman MRICS joins the FTSE 250 company, based in the former Greenalls Brewery, following surveying roles with Lee Baron Limited, Urban Vision Partnership and Rochdale Borough Council.

Property Director, Andrew Darke, says: “Maria joins us at a particularly exciting time, with our first zero-carbon GP surgery building design opening this summer in Manchester and a long list of further projects and partnerships underway to help GPs all over the country create more space, refurbish existing premises or to secure the new buildings they so desperately need.

“Our relationships with our tenant GPs are built on the specialist skills and experience of our portfolio team, so we’re delighted to welcome Maria to strengthen those even further.”

Assura is an award-winning company that designs, builds and manages GP surgery buildings and primary care centres across the UK, giving the NHS the places and spaces needed to deliver more services, tests and treatments in the community.

The company owns 422 properties with a total annualised rent roll of £76.9m and has a £146m pipeline of primary care property acquisitions and developments around the country.
