National commercial property and investment company LCP expands Bristol office with two key appointments
National commercial property and investment company LCP has expanded its Bristol office with two strategic appointments.
Gemma Aldridge and Alec Turner join the team, based in Great George Street, as the business's asset management portfolio in the South West of England and South Wales continues to grow.
Gemma joins LCP as assistant property manager from Workman LLP, where she held a similar role, managing more than 30 commercial properties, including industrial units and garden centres.
As well as working full time, she is also studying for an MSc in real estate at the University College of Estate Management.
At LCP, she will look after a range of industrial and retail properties, focused on the south west region and south wales.
Alec Turner MRICS, who has 20 years' experience in the building surveying profession, joins LCP as building surveyor from Cheltenham-based Evans Jones Ltd, where he worked in the building consultancy team providing building surveying, project management and planning consultancy advice.
He will support the asset management function across the region by overseeing all outsourced dilapidations instructions and undertaking project management of capital expenditure projects.
Welcoming them to LCP, Adam Martin, director and head of Bristol office, said its portfolio had doubled in size over the last 12 months, with about £225 million of assets now under its management.
"We're pleased to welcome Alec and Gemma to the office. Gemma joins with a wealth of experience in property management and tenant liaison, while Alec has a solid 20 years of building surveying experience," he said.
"The LCP ethos is to provide best-in-class property for local occupiers, which is achieved through active, hands-on asset management. The skills that Alec and Gemma bring will certainly aid the group in achieving this goal."
