Commercial property consultancy Lambert Smith Hampton (LSH) is continuing its investment in up-and-coming talent by adding to its Midlands capital markets team.
Ankur Chadha, a 28-year-old surveyor, is joining senior surveyor Adam Ramshaw, head of the firm’s Birmingham office and director of capital markets, and Matt Jenns in the three-strong team.
Chadha’s new role will see him focus on the buoyant investment market in Leicester, Nottingham and across the East Midlands.
The City University graduate, originally from Sutton Coldfield, joined LSH three years ago and worked alongside office agency director Alex Tross covering the West Midlands region. Chadha was recently involved in a deal which saw AECOM, the global provider of professional technical and management support services to a range of markets, acquire 10,000 sq ft of office space at Victoria Square in Birmingham city centre.
The growth of the capital markets team comes during a period of “significant expansion” for LSH, which earlier this year acquired the commercial surveyors and valuers ES Group and retail specialists Tushingham Moore.
“The past three years at LSH have been fantastic and I’ve learned so much,” said Chadha. “Joining the capital markets team offers me an exciting opportunity with a special focus on the East Midlands region, an area that is experiencing a lot of investment activity.
“By focusing on Leicester and Nottingham, and providing a capital markets function in our offices in both cities, we will be able to take advantage of the increased demand and high levels of activity right across the East Midlands,” he added.
Adam Ramshaw commented: “I am delighted to welcome Ankur to the capital markets team where I know he will be a huge asset.
“We have expanded the team and broadened our scope to cover the entire West Midlands and East Midlands regions which clearly demonstrates our desire and commitment to providing the very best service levels for investors.
“We now have a unique footprint of offices in the region and I know Ankur will ensure we take full advantage of this,” he said.
