Avison Young has hired Patrick Massie as a director in the firm’s national rating team.
Massie, who has more than a decade of experience in business rates and valuation, joins Avison Young from Daniel Watney where he most recently served as a partner.
David Jones, principal and managing director, business rates at Avison Young, said: “Patrick joins the team at a key time for our national rating offer, as we continue to enhance our ability to deliver best-in-class advice to occupiers, landlords, investors and developers across the UK. His extensive market expertise, particularly within the industrial and logistics sector, will be especially valuable, given its status as one of the fastest-growing asset classes in the country.
“As demand for specialist rating advice continues to grow, Patrick’s experience will play an important role in supporting our clients through an increasingly complex landscape. I’m excited to see the impact he will make across the business.”
Massie added: “After more than a decade specialising in business rates and valuation, I’ve seen the market go through significant change, from macroeconomic pressures to shifts in occupier demand, and I’m excited to bring that experience to Avison Young. With ongoing changes to the business rates regime, there is an increasing need for strategic, insight-led advice. I’m looking forward to working with colleagues across the UK to support clients through this complexity and contribute to the continued growth of the national rating team.”
