Avison Young has appointed David Martin as the firm’s interim regional managing director for Birmingham.
Martin, who has spent the last 18 years as a principal in Avison Young’s building and consultancy division, takes over from Carl Potter, who has led the Birmingham office since 2018.
In his new role as interim regional MD for Birmingham, Martin will play a crucial part in driving revenue growth at a regional level, applying his deep knowledge of the Midlands market and leveraging partnerships with key clients and stakeholders.
Stephen Cowperthwaite, managing director of UK regions at Avison Young UK, said: “I’m very pleased to welcome David to his new role as interim regional managing director, driving forward the Birmingham office and supporting the delivery of vital, strategic projects across the wider Midlands region. Regional investment is a crucial part of our wider UK growth strategy – shaping Avison Young into an advisory business that helps to create economic, social, and environmental impact and value – and David will play an important role in supporting that vision.”
Martin added: “Having worked at Avison Young for many years, I’m delighted to be stepping up to lead the Birmingham office. At a national level, we’re going through a period of growth, and this is mirrored regionally, where we’re delivering brilliant work on the ground, alongside our clients and partners.
“The diversified economy of the West Midlands provides us with fertile ground to build from to supercharge the growth of the region – and I’m looking forward to working with the team to enhance collaboration and maximise the work and impact of our talented people to achieve that goal.”
