JLL Bristol's project management team expands
Real estate services specialist JLL has made two new appointments to its project management team in Bristol.
The appointments come as the team looks to broaden the range of senior level expertise and specialist consultancy advice available to clients.
Paul Smith joins JLL as director from Currie & Brown in Bristol, where he worked for over 14 years, and brings a wealth of project management experience having worked across a range of projects including student residential, offices, higher education, local authority, industrial as well as private clients.
Dan Gibbs joins JLL as an associate from Lidl's property team in Avonmouth where, since 2018, he has been managing store delivery from the land acquisition stage to new builds, fit outs, alterations and refurbishment.
Prior to this, he worked in a project management consultancy focussing mainly on Heathrow airport expansion projects and for three years before that with BAM as a site manager. Having worked as contractor, consultant and client, Dan brings a unique spread of expertise.
The appointments come at an exciting time for JLL in Bristol as a number of high-profile projects being project managed by the property consultants are steaming ahead.
These include Millwrights Place and Coopers Court, part of phase two of major regeneration scheme Finzels Reach, which will bring new build-to-rent and affordable housing to the city.
The team is also working on one of the largest Passivhaus student accommodation schemes at the University of the West of England and delivering EQ, the first new build office in Bristol to commit to being Carbon Net Zero in operation.
Commenting on the appointments, Barnaby Dodwell, head of project and cost management at JLL Bristol, said: "We are thrilled to have Paul and Dan joining the Project Management team at a time when so many new and exciting projects are underway and in the pipeline.
"Paul's impressive track record and experience will bring valuable expertise to the team and Dan brings real insight from contractor, client and consultant viewpoints which will add immense value."
