Bruton Knowles Opens New Office In Exeter

Chartered Surveyor firm Bruton Knowles is expanding its presence in the South West, with the opening of a new office in Exeter,

The move will provide a more convenient location for Bruton Knowles to service clients in Somerset, Devon and Cornwall.

The new office also strengthens the firm's regional offering while supporting its National Building Consultancy Team to undergo further growth.

The move follows another recent office opening in the South West, based in Bathpool, Taunton, which put the organisation in a geographically stronger position to provide an on-the-door service to existing and potential clients.

The newly appointed Head of Building Consultancy South, Ed Vereker, will head up the Exeter office and will lead colleagues from across the business. He joined the firm as a Senior Associate in June, with a goal to drive forward the company’s presence in the South.

To cater for clients in the South West, Ed plans to draw on the wealth of experience and skills of the business, to provide tailored advice to clients across professional and construction requirements.

He commented: "I am very proud to be provided with a dedicated platform to expand Bruton Knowles’ presence in the South West to an even greater extent. Since joining the firm in June, it’s been great to see the progress we have made in the region, having also invested in offices in the South, with our Wimborne and Taunton locations this year.

"Now, we must utilise this opportunity to build relationships with existing and potential customers in the area by delivering a high-quality service, and I look forward to leading the team to achieve this."
