Vail Williams’ Gatwick team appoints new surveyor
Property consultancy Vail Williams has appointed a new surveyor at its Gatwick office.
Jake Collins joins the firm from Worthing-based estate agent Michael Jones, where he held a senior negotiating role.
He’s experienced in working in the Sussex commercial property market and specialises in the acquisition and disposal of commercial property, working with occupiers, landlords, investors and developers.
“I am thrilled to be appointed by Vail Williams,” said Jake.
“I’m looking to utilise my skill sets and regional experience to ensure clients continue to receive second-to-none service.
“I was seeking a new challenge and am relishing being part of such a progressive and professional agency team in an exceptional firm.
“I’m looking forward to expanding my wide range of knowledge across all commercial property sectors, including retail, industrial, office and investment, and will be able to strengthen my experience working with clients across Surrey, Sussex and Kent.”
Jake will be working alongside partner Steve Berrett and associate Mikael Goldsmith in the Gatwick agency team.
Suzanne Holloway, regional manager partner for Vail Williams’ Gatwick office, said: “Jake has fitted seamlessly into our agency team and has hit the ground running to become a valued colleague as business continues to expand.
“He has particular expertise in dealing with industrial, office and retail assets and has been involved in a range of freehold disposals across the Gatwick region.
“Jake is also adept at real estate marketing and possesses a keen knowledge of market appraisals, land values and development.”
