Eddisons makes senior NW appointment

Ashley Parkinson, associate director, building project and consultancy team, Eddisons

Property consultant Eddisons has promoted Manchester-based Ashley Parkinson to associate director within its growing building project and consultancy team.

Ashley joined the firm last year as a senior building surveyor and has played a pivotal role in the success and continued growth of the 30-strong UK-wide building and project consultancy team.

Since 2016 the team has worked with academy trusts in the North West and across the UK, and this year it secured £40m of funding for school building refurbishment projects under the Government’s Condition Improvement Fund (CIF) programme, as well as delivering the projects on the ground.

Ian Harrington, Eddisons’ head of building and project consultancy said: “Ashley’s promotion is well deserved and a testament to his role in helping our team become the go-to provider of advice to academy trusts in the North West and beyond on navigating the complexities of CIF funding.”

Eddisons’ building and project consultancy team is also involved in development monitoring work for lenders, as well as commercial and industrial fit outs and dilapidations. Across the firm Eddisons has made six promotions this month, including creating four new directors.
