Vail Williams expands with new office at Wessex Fields, Bournemouth

EXPANSION: Property consultancy Vail Williams has signalled expansion plans with a new office at Wessex Fields, Bournemouth, Dorset. The relocation from its previous premises near Wimborne is a year on from Cowling & West merging with Vail Williams, which also has offices in Southampton, Portsmouth and nine others across the UK.

Property consultancy Vail Williams has underlined its commitment to growth on the South Coast with new premises.

The relocation within Dorset, to Bournemouth from near Wimborne six miles away, comes a year on from the advisory firm merging with Cowling & West.

Vail Williams’ staff are now based at a 1,700 sq ft office in Everdene House, Wessex Fields, opposite the Royal Bournemouth Hospital and just off the A338 – a major route linking the UK’s 10th largest urban area with the A31 Hampshire-Dorset corridor.

Russell Miller, a Partner who leads the office, said: “The quality of our new premises reflects the quality of services to clients, from lease advice, property valuation and planning to asset management, property acquisition and disposal.

“Our 10-year lease also underlines our commitment to the buoyant Dorset, Hampshire and Wiltshire region as we mark the first anniversary of Vail Williams merging with Cowling & West.

“As well as the location, Everdene House is a superb base for the team and new hires – we are actively recruiting for a number of roles, including chartered surveyors.”

Sequel Consulting, based in Guildford, carried out the fit-out for Vail Williams’ new office in Deansleigh Road.

Other occupiers at Everdene House include law firm Dutton Gregory and Terence O’Rouke, the planning, design and environmental consultancy.

Vail Williams recently reported record-breaking revenues of £16.86 million for 2020-21, up from £15.5 million the previous year.

With 11 offices across the UK, the firm also expanded geographically, increased staff numbers and grew its client base.
