Naismiths and Edmond Shipway announce group business development director

Bringing more than 30 years of construction industry experience to the role, Anthony has held senior positions across a range of organisations, including Blue Chip PLCs and SMEs. Anthony has joined the group in a national strategic role, and will primarily be based in the Birmingham office.

With exceptional relationship-building skills and a track record of driving growth and maintaining strong margins, Anthony’s expertise will be important as the group continues to progress following a very strong first five months.

Anthony said: “Naismiths and Edmond Shipway are poised for significant growth following the successful merger this year, and I’m excited to join the team and get stuck into business and relationship development. I’m already getting an understanding of the business’ strengths and the value we can bring to both new and existing clients, so I’m looking forward to helping to further establish the offering of both businesses.

“The core values and the team’s appetite to succeed stood out to me and align with my own values of honesty and trustworthiness, and I’m sure I’m going to enjoy being part of this hardworking and ambitious group.”

Ben Harwood, group chief executive, said: “Anthony joining the team marks another exciting step forward for Naismiths and Edmond Shipway. He has a huge amount of experience that will be invaluable as we continue to grow and develop the group, and the results he has achieved in his previous roles speak for themselves.

“We’re looking forward to the new perspective and energy Anthony will bring to the team, and we know his ambition is going to be a huge asset.”

Naismiths is a modern yet mature national real estate consultancy with offices in eight cities across the UK, and Edmond Shipway is a leading multidisciplinary construction and property consultancy that has been a trusted name in the industry for more than 60 years.
