JLL has bolstered its Midlands team with the appointment of two new office agency directors and a new head of ratings.
Andy Riach (pictured) and Richard Williams, who previously co-led Lambert Smith Hampton’s (LSH) Birmingham office agency team, have both been appointed as directors within JLL’s office agency team.
Prior to LSH, Williams worked at Colliers and Knight Frank. Riach rejoins JLL after spending 15-years at the firm at the start of his career.
JLL has also named Jordan Fendick as its new head of ratings in the Midlands. Fendick was previously a director in JLL’s business rates team and has been with JLL for more than seven years.
Rachel Leung, head of Midlands at JLL, said: “These new appointments represent an exciting time for our Birmingham team and demonstrates our commitment to helping investors and developers take advantage of the wealth of opportunities the region has to offer. Both Andy and Richard bring with them a wealth of experience working within the city, and I’m sure they’ll be a perfect fit as we continue to invest into our regional offering.
“Meanwhile business rates remain one of the most complex aspects of real estate for owners and occupiers to navigate. It’s important that we’re well positioned to support our clients in the region with this, and Jordan’s extensive knowledge will help us to advise clients on the strategies they can adopt to respond to upcoming changes in this area.”
