Worcestershire commercial property consultancy GJS Dillon has expanded with the appointment of a new Associate Director of Asset Management.

John Behan, who is a Chartered Surveyor with an MSc in Real Estate Management, has 20 years’ experience of working in the Commercial Property market. At GJS Dillon he will work alongside Sarah Gibson, Property Manager and Sophie Rollins, Rent and Service Charge Officer to grow the property and asset management department.

John’s career began as a Graduate Surveyor working in the Property Management department for a prominent Birmingham-based firm. During his career he has been responsible for managing a wide variety of cross-sector commercial property portfolios. In recent years he has been working in Worcestershire and the West Midlands where clients have ranged from Institutional Funds to high-net worth individuals.

John Dillon, GJS Dillon’s Managing Director said: ‘We’re very pleased to have someone as experienced and well-qualified as John to head up our Asset Management team. We have been steadily increasing the number and value of properties under our management, but John’s appointment will allow us to take on more management instructions throughout Worcestershire.’

Mr Behan says: "As a Worcestershire-based consultancy, GJS Dillon has a huge amount of local knowledge and expertise. I’m very much looking forward to working with Sarah and Sophie on growing the department and increasing our value-added service for our management clients."
