Vail Williams has expanded its valuation team hiring Nigel Whitehurst from Gerald Eve as a partner.
Whitehurst, who spent 10 years working in the commercial valuation team at Gerald Eve, will be based in Vail Williams’ Crawley office. He previously worked for JLL, King Sturge and Cushman & Wakefield.
Whitehurst said: ”I had no hesitation in joining Vail Williams at partner level. I see this as an incredible opportunity to help grow this progressive firm’s valuation offering as well as using my experience to assist and guide the excellent team. At Vail Williams my role is to help grow the valuation side of the business through introducing new clients and work, including cross-selling to other teams where appropriate. I thrive in the responsibility of business development and fee generation through creating new contacts with banks, property companies or other lenders.”
Danny George, regional managing partner for Vail Williams’ Gatwick region, added: “We welcome Nigel to the team in the safe knowledge that he is a seasoned operator whose presence will enhance our offering to clients. His extensive experience in working nationally and internationally as a client manager providing comprehensive valuation advice to major banking groups shows that he will have a significant role to play here.
“We are very much in the process of strategically enhancing our Valuation offering to clients as business demand in the Gatwick area, and across all the firm’s regions, continues to increase – and Nigel is joining at a perfect time.”
