Paul Milsom and Anthony Haydock have been appointed by Birmingham-based chartered surveyors and commercial property consultants Johnson Fellows to spearhead the growth and development of its lease advisory division.
Their appointments will enhance the firm’s national capabilities and reinforce its position as a highly trusted advisor in the commercial property market.
Both Paul and Anthony have joined from BNP Paribas Real Estate, bringing with them a wealth of experience and strong track records.
Chris Gaskell, joint senior partner at Johnson Fellows, said: “We are excited to welcome Paul and Anthony to the team. Their combined experience and strategic insight will be instrumental in driving forward our lease advisory services and supporting our clients through every stage of the property lifecycle.
“This strategic move reflects Johnson Fellows’ ongoing investment in talent and its mission to provide expert, client-centric advice across all areas of commercial property.”
Paul, a seasoned lease advisory specialist with over 24 years’ experience, who will head up the lease advisory team, has also been appointed as joint senior partner.
During his career he has advised a wide range of high-profile clients including Tesco, Birmingham City Council, Royal Mail, Central England Co-Operative, Network Rail, Post Office and National Grid. His expertise spans rent reviews, lease renewals and strategic portfolio advice across the retail, office, and industrial sectors.
Associate partner Anthony also brings extensive industry knowledge and a client-focused approach that aligns with Johnson Fellows’ commitment to delivering tailored, high-quality property solutions.
Previously at BNP Paribas Real Estate, he formed part of the occupier solutions team for over seven years dealing with clients such as Accenture, Centrica and EDF Energy. He transitioned three years ago to accelerate the growth of the company’s Midlands’ lease advisory team.
Johnson Fellows, established in 1984, is based in Birmingham with offices also in London and Manchester. Services include agency, lease advisory, property management, building surveying and valuation.
The firm specialises in providing high quality professional advice with the latest market information and analysis, guidance through constantly changing legal issues and, above all, in providing a service which achieves the optimum commercial outcome for clients.
