Matthew Tilt, Director, said: “Since launching the Telford office in 2022, we have established a firm foothold in the region with support from our colleagues across Harris Lamb’s other offices. An increase in instructions has now led to us growing the team further to provide the quality of service our clients expect, and with 2026 shaping up to be exceptionally busy, further Agency support and a dedicated Building Consultancy expert were top of our list.
“Jo has an excellent reputation within the region for providing quality advice and support to landlords, tenants, investors, owner occupiers and insurers, and is known for her high standards of client service and practical advice.
“She has an impressive skillset in relation to everything building surveying including preparing pre-acquisition and building condition surveys, providing dilapidations advice to landlords and tenants, building reinstatement cost assessments and planned maintenance reporting. She also gets involved in design and contract administration of refurbishment, maintenance and repair projects as well as advising on licences for alterations. Jo will be able to provide additional support to our clients, and we are delighted to have her on board,” he said.
