A property consultancy has made 24 promotions across its offices in the East Midlands following a period of growth.
Fisher German has promoted 19 colleagues at its head office in Ashby, while five have been promoted at its Market Harborough offices.
Three have been named as partners – Louise Duffin and James Watson at Market Harborough, and Richard Gadd at Ashby, while seven people have also progressed within the partnership.
At Ashby, Matthias Charlton becomes associate partner, Joanne Ziemelis becomes senior associate, while Antonia Wyatt, Emma Pattisson, Hannah Price and Robert Webster have been promoted to associate.
Bev Cowley becomes PR manager, Joanne Morton becomes senior administrator, Katy Bregazzi becomes senior GIS technician, Emily Weston becomes senior planner, and Joanna Grew is now people system officer.
Further promotions at the Market Harborough office include Harry Edwards, who becomes associate partner, Matthew Trembath, who is now an associate, and Julia Dilworth, who becomes a senior estate administrator.
The promotions in Market Harborough come after a recent move for the team to a new office at Welland Business Park after being based in the town’s high street for decades.
Louise, who joined Fisher German as a graduate in 2001, advises a variety of clients across Leicestershire, Rutland and beyond on estate management, and regularly works with Fisher German’s development and planning teams on major projects.
She heads up a team of seven and is hopeful of attracting new surveyors into the company now she has been invited into the partnership.
Louise said: “It’s fantastic I have joined the partnership after working my way up through Fisher German since joining right after I finished my degree.
“Fisher German has always supported me in my career from day one, and for me to have the opportunity to become a partner despite working part-time shows the faith in me and in what I can do for the company.
“It’s great that 24 of us have been promoted across the East Midlands, and this reflects the strength of the team in the region.
“I am excited to help bring in new talent to our new office in Market Harborough, help them grow their careers, and continue the excellent advisory work we provide for our clients every day.”
The news follows Fisher German’s merger with Matthews & Goodman in June last year – a deal which has created one of the largest providers of multi-disciplinary property services in the UK, with 28 offices and a turnover approaching £60 million.
Fisher German has made a total of 54 promotions, including ten partner promotions, through the firm’s career progression framework, which gives employees a clear pathway to advance within the business. There have also been 20 progressions within the partnership.
Duncan Bedhall, senior partner at Fisher German, said: “I would like to congratulate all of those who have received promotions, and it is fantastic to welcome ten colleagues to the partnership.
“This announcement demonstrates the career progression opportunities at all levels and specialisms within the firm and shows our commitment to investing in learning and development right across the business. It also highlights the exceptional quality and hard work of our colleagues.
“It is excellent to see a number of colleagues who joined us from Matthews & Goodman receive promotions.
“The business continues to go from strength to strength following the merger, and we continue to capitalise on collaborative opportunities within the firm which benefit both the business and our clients.
“I look forward to announcing further promotions across the firm later in the year.”
