BTG Eddisons has strengthened its public sector offering by hiring Chris Soar as head of public sector valuation.
Soar joins the company from Montagu Evans where he spent 12 years specialising in portfolio valuations for government departments, local authorities and NHS clients.
In this newly created role, Soar will work across BTG Eddisons’ public sector and valuations teams.
Soar said: “I’m really excited to be joining BTG Eddisons as head of public sector valuation. After more than a decade working on public sector valuations, it feels like the perfect time to join. The firm is committed to building its presence in this space, with solid frameworks already in place through ESPO and Crown Commercial Services amongst others, as well as great teams across building surveying, auctions and advisory. That combination gives us a strong platform to deliver practical, high quality valuations and advice to local authorities, central government, the NHS and schools, which is exactly the kind of work I’ve always enjoyed most.”
Martin Hughes, regional valuations director at BTG Eddisons, added: “Valuations are a key service line for us and underpin much of our work for public sector clients, from asset portfolio valuations to specialised NHS and public health valuations. Chris’ addition brings significant expertise and will further strengthen our capability.”
