Heading a trio of new appointments Steve Plowman has been appointed as a director, with responsibility for the South West and South Wales.
He is joining Colliers with 27 years’ experience spanning both retail and mineral valuations, including seven years in the Valuation Office Agency as team leader in the Mineral Valuer Unit. Plowman has also worked as a senior surveyor specialising in non-domestic business rating in the minerals and waste industry sector.
A member of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) and the Institute of Quarrying (MIQ), he has extensive experience of Rating Appeals and Valuation Tribunal hearings, and has been involved in securing reductions for clients across a broad range of industries during his career.
Also joining the Bristol rating team is David Tanswell, a property professional with a decade of experience in business rents and rating. He joins as a business development manager and will be concentrating on developing business opportunities across the region.
Danielle Hatton has also been appointed as a graduate surveyor to the national capital markets team. She recently graduated from the University of the West of England with a first class honours degree in property investment and management, during which she undertook a year-long placement with Colliers International.
Hatton will now spend two years on the global agency’s graduate programme, which will include working towards the RICS assessment of professional competence.
Tim Davies, head of the Colliers International team covering the South West and South Wales regions, commented: “Steve’s experience is an ideal fit for our range of clients, and he will enhance the service provided by our rating team.
“He is a valuable addition to the Bristol office, and his arrival demonstrates our confidence in the market in the South West and South Wales.”
“We are also pleased to welcome David and Danielle to our expanding team, and we know that they will both make a vital contribution to developing our business in the South West.”
