JLL recruits Knight Frank’s Roper

Jones Lang LaSalle has appointed David Roper to join its valuation advisory team in a new role based in Manchester.

Roper has over 30 years' professional experience and was previously head of Knight Frank's valuation team based in Manchester.

Andrew Renshaw, head of Jones Lang LaSalle's national valuation and professional advisory team, said: "David is a much respected and senior valuer and I am delighted he is joining our business. His experience and client relationships will compliment those of our existing valuation and professional advisory teams and he will also work closely with our strong agency and capital markets teams in Manchester as well as developing and expanding our portfolio valuation capabilities and expert witness/litigation services."

Tim Luckman, head of Jones Lang LaSalle's valuation advisory team in Manchester, added: "We have established a strong valuation business with excellent clients and reputation for providing a first class service. David's appointment is part of our expansion plans for our regional business which most recently has seen the addition of new licensed leisure, healthcare and student accommodation teams. I am looking forward to working with David and the rest of the team to deliver a full spectrum of valuation services to our clients across the North West."

Roper will join Jones Lang LaSalle as a director in early autumn.
