Last week we welcomed David Castles to lead the transformation of our national valuations practice in our Economics and Property team. 

Former Director and head of valuations at Cushman and Wakefield, David joins Urbis focused on unlocking and enhancing the depth of our national valuations offer and team.

 

Leveraging his previous track record in institutional and middle markets David will also focus on growth of our service delivery model and national clients.

It's exciting to join Urbis at a time where there is genuine commitment to investments in their brand, technology and data, and culture.
