Gateley Smithers Purslow - the multi-disciplinary surveying, engineering and architecture practice arm of professional services group, Gateley - has expanded its Midlands presence with the appointment of David Kellaway as a regional manager in Birmingham.
A chartered building surveyor, David brings 20 years of experience following roles with Rider Levett Bucknall and Arcadis. He has worked in Birmingham throughout his career, providing surveying, project management and contract administration services for complex projects across the public, commercial and healthcare sectors.
He also has vast experience in mentoring and supporting graduates with the Assessment of Professional Competence (APC) process on the RICS Building Surveying pathway.
At Gateley Smithers Purslow, he will be based out of Gateley’s Edmund Street head office. He will work closely alongside the Midlands regional director, Alex Wright, to develop the Birmingham offering.
David said: “I’m really excited to be joining Gateley Smithers Purslow with the opportunity to extend its multi-disciplinary services to the Birmingham market and establish a team.
"Being part of Gateley allows us to provide a specialist offering combining technical consultancy skills with legal expertise, and I’m looking forward to working with new colleagues and turning my hand to some great insurance reinstatement projects.”
Alex said: “David will play a key part in supporting our existing workload within the region, as well as further driving the strategic growth and development of our insurance and private works services. He brings a wealth of experience, and we’re really pleased to have him on board in the Midlands.”
With a total headcount of nearly 200 UK-wide, Gateley Smithers Purslow’s Midlands offering has grown from its Glaston roots to also include bases in Birmingham, Lincoln and Nottingham to service insurance, public and private sector clients.
