Ben Burton has been appointed as business development manager for Overbury in the Midlands and East Anglia.

The UK’s leading office fit out and refurbishment firm has announced the appointment of a new business development manager to its expanding operations in the Midlands and East Anglia.

Ben Burton has joined Overbury’s Birmingham based sales team as one of several new recruits, as the contractor meets the demands of a growing portfolio of regional clients.

He will work alongside Overbury colleagues, Danny Parmar, Michele Clifton and Penelope Mitchell, as part of a larger front-end sales team with responsibility for the regional growth of the business.

Ben Burton brings more than two decades of commercial property experience to the role at a senior management level. He is a regional committee member of the British Council for Offices and a non-executive board member at Solihull Community Housing.

He said: “I’m delighted to have joined such a dynamic and talented team. Overbury has built a strong reputation for delivering first class fit out and refurbishment projects across the region. There is a real hunger to continue the growth and development of the business in the Midlands and East Anglia, where there are many opportunities to work with new and existing clients in the office and education sectors. I’m incredibly excited to be part of it.”

Andrew Wood, managing director of Overbury’s Birmingham based office/team said: “We are very pleased to announce Ben’s appointment as one of a number of strategically important additions to our established team in the region. Ben is a highly respected figure in the industry and brings an exceptional level of knowledge and business contacts to the role. He will greatly support Overbury’s continued growth in an active regional office market. We have also recruited operational staff to strengthen our teams on site, as well as office-based support. As a business we are ideally placed to take on more work of any size, and for any sector, at a greater pace than ever before.”
