Property consultant Eddisons has appointed Ania Packman as a Director and Barney Mather as an Associate Director across its South West offices.
Based in Somerset, Devon and Cornwall, Exeter University and Cass Business School-educated Ania is a valuation expert with over 20 years’ property industry experience. She joins Eddisons from Taunton firm Greenslade Taylor Hunt and was previously a partner and regional surveyor at London agency Allsop.
Also a valuation specialist, Barney studied at UWE in Bristol and at Durham University and joins Eddisons from the Valuation Office Agency. Prior to that he was a chartered surveyor with Andrew Forbes, the independent Bristol firm acquired by Eddisons last year. Barney will be based primarily in the firm’s Bristol office, covering the whole of the South West region.
Eddisons South West and South Wales regional director David Chichester said: “We are really pleased to welcome Ania to the team and to have our colleague Barney back with us again. Both are highly experienced valuations professionals with in-depth experience and understanding of the commercial and residential markets here in the South West.
“With retail banks and pension firms making up our clients base across the region, our growth, both in our region and UK-wide, is driven by demand founded on Eddisons’ client-focused approach. We are committed always to deliver the very best service, an ethos that is shared by all our team.”
Eddisons employs 18 people at its Bristol office with further hires planned later this year. The firm’s South West and South Wales region also covers Cardiff, Bath, Cheltenham, Swindon and Exeter.
The two appointments come as Eddisons continues its aggressive growth strategy. The business has made 10 acquisitions since 2015, four of which were completed in 2023. It now employs around 500 people across 30 UK offices.
