FHP announce new appointment

FHP are delighted to announce the appointment of David Richardson to strengthen their retail department.

A surveyor who won an award from the industry’s trade body before he had even started work has joined a key department at Nottingham property consultancy FHP.

David Richardson won the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors East Midlands award for the best dissertation when he was studying at Nottingham Trent University. He went on to graduate with first-class honours from a school which has produced many of the professionals in Nottingham’s property, planning and development industry.

Now, he has joined FHP’s retail and leisure department – one of the most high-profile teams serving the sector across the East Midlands and beyond. He took the job instead of another opportunity in London, and FHP retail and leisure partner Ben Tebbutt hailed the move as an endorsement of the department’s high profile.

Ben Tebbutt said: “David was torn between a job in London and the opportunity of joining us here at FHP. That David chose to come here is a very strong statement about the calibre of the work we deal with on a daily basis and the quality of the service we deliver. We have handled some of the most high profile retail developments in the city, and we routinely act on behalf of some of the most well-known High Street brands, not just in Nottingham but all over the country.

He added: “Clients expect the highest levels of advice and service and David is a welcome addition to a team which has a reputation for doing just that.

David Richardson joins FHP from Savills, where he worked in the commercial team. At FHP, he will focus mainly on roadside retail and leisure development, together with high street disposals and shopping centre leasing.

He commented: “FHP’s reputation goes before them. Having previously worked on the delivery of some of the largest schemes in the East Midlands, it continues to play a major role in the delivery of a number of significant projects. FHP is recognised at regional and national level and I am looking forward to working on some great opportunities alongside a great team.”.”

David’s work will predominantly be focused on roadside retail and leisure development together with high street disposals and shopping centre leasing.
