The property asset management team has welcomed Claire Smith from DTZ as an associate. With more eight years’ experience, Claire has a strong track record in building client relationships and identifying innovative opportunities to drive asset enhancement.

She will work with Elaine Duffy who leads the department, which advises pension funds, offshore trusts, private investors and property owners.

David Porter, head of the Manchester office, said: “We’re really pleased to welcome our latest recruits who bring extensive experience, skills and enthusiasm to their new roles.

“With instructions increasing across all sectors in line with the strength of the Manchester property market, they will provide vital support within their specific teams and play a key role in our future growth over the next 12 months and beyond.”
