Leading property consultancy JLL has boosted its property and asset management team in Bristol and the South West with two new appointments and promotions.

Jo Edwards has taken over as lead director of property and asset management across the South West, a business worth £1.3 million in the region and £56 million UK wide. Jo has been with the firm for 19 years and a director in property and asset management for the last ten years.

She and her team of 14 agents across the region manage commercial property assets on behalf of pension funds and investment and property companies. The team is currently responsible for 260 properties and 1300 tenants.

Caroline Cubbin has also joined the property and asset management team, having started her career with JLL in 2012 under the graduate programme.

Jeremy Richards, head of JLL’s Bristol office, said:

“Thanks to a proactive approach and constantly seeking innovative solutions, we have seen our property and asset management service grow significantly in Bristol and across the South West. I am delighted to see Jo take over as lead director for the region since she’s been so instrumental in driving that growth.”

Jo Edwards added:

“JLL’s property and asset management team in the South West has a proven track record in safeguarding clients’ assets to ensure they consistently perform within the competitive market place. We are currently managing properties throughout the region from Poole to Penzance, Cheltenham to Oxford. I am delighted to be working with an extremely experienced and dedicated team of professionals who offer the highest level of client and tenant service.

“Over almost 20 years with JLL I’ve seen the business go from strength to strength and the quality and quantity of the assets under our management increase significantly. It is a very exciting time to be appointed in to the role now that the market is active once again.”
