Avison Young has appointed Tim Evans as head of planning in the Midlands following Nick Hardy’s decision to focus on other areas of the business.
In addition to setting the team’s strategy, driving growth and overseeing output, Evans will continue to advise existing and new clients.
Evans said: “I’m incredibly excited to step into this leadership role after more than 15 years with the business. It’s a real privilege to lead such a well-established and high-performing team and I’m grateful to my predecessor Nick for the strong foundations he’s left behind. My focus now is on building on that success as well as growing the team, expanding our client portfolio and continuing to strengthen our presence across the Midlands. It’s an exciting time for the business and I’m proud to be playing a part in its next chapter.”
Craig Alsbury, principal and national head of planning at Avison Young, added: “This is a fantastic appointment and I’m really pleased to see Tim step into this key role. I brought Tim into the business back in 2006 and have worked closely with him ever since. He has exactly the right experience, skills and drive needed to take the team forward and I am confident that he will take them to new heights.
“Nick has done an amazing job over the last couple of years and I am immensely grateful for the contribution he has made to reshaping the team. Nick is not going anywhere, he is critical to the services that we provide for a number of nationally significant clients and he will continue to play key roles on major mandates and projects going forward.”
