Industrial heavyweight joins Burley Browne

Chartered surveyors and commercial property agents, Burley Browne, have appointed Mark Fitzpatrick to lead its Business Space, Industrial and Logistics’ team.

Formerly at GVA Bilfinger with a career spanning 25 years, Mark has acted on behalf of some top names including St Modwen, Prologis and Horton’s Estate. He has also gained experience with Chesterton, CBRE and Cecil Cariss.

Burley Browne has offices in both Birmingham and Sutton Coldfield, and is one of the largest independent firms operating in the local marketplace with a key focus on North Birmingham, Staffordshire and the surrounding West Midlands. The company also specialises in offices, retail and leisure.

David Hemming, director at Burley Browne welcomes Mark’s extensive experience and believes he will take the practice to the next level as he explains:

“We have experienced a real increase in the level and quality of enquiry for Business Space and Industrial accommodation this year. Mark has worked with some substantial clients, private and public sector, on both disposals and acquisitions. He has acted on a range of schemes including Longbridge with St Modwen and Bass Developments at Centrum Burton upon Trent.  His arrival will considerably strengthen the advice and service Burley Browne can provide within this specialist sector.”

Mark Fitzpatrick added: “Having worked in large agencies for much of my career, I recognised a real opportunity at Burley Browne. They are hugely ambitious; pay a lot of attention to the quality of work and service delivery. I’m confident I can make a positive impact and significantly enhance their position within this improving sector.”
