Allcott Commercial is excited to announce that Associate Partner, Jon Powell MCIOB, is relocating to Manchester to head up the firm’s continued expansion in the region. Jon’s extensive commercial surveying expertise and fantastic client relationships mean he is ideally placed for reinforcing Allcott Commercial’s position in the North-West. The move will bring growth to the area by creating new graduate roles, and it will enable Allcott’s team to support a greater number of clients in Manchester and beyond.
Over the past year, Manchester and Liverpool have been a key focus for Allcott Commercial, and as a result, the firm’s commercial surveying work in these cities has more than doubled. Jon’s move will bolster that growth by ensuring that Allcotts is in the best position to take advantage of the fantastic opportunities available. As well as working closely with the other senior surveyors in our team, Jon will take on graduates from the Manchester area, extending the company’s capacity while supporting the next generation of commercial surveyors.
Jon joined the firm in 2021, originally covering the Midlands and London. Since then, his career has since gone from strength to strength. As Matthew Baker, Commercial Partner said,
“After joining the firm, Jon quickly became one of our leading commercial surveyors. His passion and expertise for commercial building consultancy, and particularly dilapidations and contract administration work, is clear. The fact that Jon goes above and beyond to make sure projects are completed successfully is evident in the exceptionally strong relationships that he has developed with our clients. They come back to him time and time again.
We are thrilled that he has agreed to head up our Manchester expansion and reinforce Allcott Commercial’s presence in the North.”
The opportunity to widen our network in the north came at just the right time for Jon, who had always been interested in moving to Manchester. Jon told us,
“I have enjoyed living and working in the West Midlands, but it is time for something new, and Manchester has always appealed to me. The city is a trailblazer for the Northern Powerhouse, and the scope for construction and redevelopment in the city are immense. I am looking forward to seeking out new avenues of commercial surveying work, and cementing our existing client relationships by continuing to offer our excellent, comprehensive service across a wider region.”
