Savills leisure & trade valuation capability expands across the North West
Polly Graham has relocated from Savills Oxford office to expand and develop Chester’s leisure and trade valuation services, whilst Holly Gillard has moved from York, where she was a rural surveyor, to join the licensed leisure team in Manchester to grow the professional business.
Recently, the region has seen a significant boost in activity, with a number of key valuations taking place. In Chester, examples include Bewilderwood Cheshire, a children’s visitor attraction due to open in May, a beansprout production plant and 11.6 acres (4.7 hectares) of glass houses growing tomatoes also in Cheshire. Subsequently, the Manchester team has undertaken valuation work of a historic Grade II Listed property operated as a wedding venue, restaurant and traditional public house in South Derbyshire, as well as a portfolio of eight public houses throughout the North West.
David Gale-Hasleham, director in the leisure & trade related property team at Savills Chester, comments: “This is an exciting time for our teams as we expand our valuation services and provide advice across a wide variety of leisure property, both licensed and non-licensed, to aid clients with everything from loan security to internal strategies.”
