National chartered surveyors Bruton Knowles has expanded its footprint in the South West - opening a new office in Exeter.

The newly appointed head of building consultancy South, Ed Vereker who joined the firm as a senior associate in June, will head up the new office - its 14th base in the UK.

It comes after Bruton Knowles recently opened an office in Bathpool, Taunton, allowing it to provide an on-the-door service to existing and potential clients.

"Exeter is a great city location for us and will be the focus of our commitment to clients in the South West region, our team of six will continue to grow in 2024 as we deliver on our ongoing growth journey across the UK. It is a really great way to end the year," said James Bailey, managing partner at Bruton Knowles.

"This office means that we now have a base in Devon to connect to our client base, reflecting upon our mission of expanding our South West presence.

"It is no doubt a great way to end the year and I am more than excited to see what we can achieve in 2024, as we look to continue our growth journey across the entire country.”

Vereker added: "I am very proud to be provided with a dedicated platform to expand Bruton Knowles’ presence in the South West to an even greater extent.

"Since joining the firm in June, it’s been great to see the progress we have made in the region, having also invested in offices in the South, with our Wimborne and Taunton locations this year."
