The purchase means Tom Devine has joined Carter Jonas as a partner and Nicky Visick as a consultant to its Leeds office. It’s the agency’s second acquisition this year.

Devine and Visick work with clients including charities, local authorities, non-departmental government bodies and central government, to provide advice at critical points in the property lifecycle.

Former clients include the Science Museum Group, Durham County Council, Greater Manchester Police and several Higher Education Institutions, including the University of Manchester, the University of Salford and the University of York.

Alexandra Houghton, head of public sector at Carter Jonas, said:

“Tom and Nicky bring a wealth of experience to our team operating throughout the country. They have extensive knowledge of the regional and national markets and of the pressures facing public bodies to improve efficiencies on property holdings and deliver robust and sustainable estates.”

Eddisons’ triathlon team raise over £8,500 

Twenty two colleagues from Eddisons’ building and project consultancy division raised £8,600 for the British Heart Foundation in the Harrogate Sprint Triathlon, to help fund life-saving research into heart and circulatory diseases.

The charity was chosen after a colleague’s father died this year due to a heart complication. Having beaten their £7,500 fundraising target, the team is now aiming to smash ta new goal of £10,000.

This is the latest in a series of fundraising challenges by the Eddisons building and project consultancy team, which has seen them raise almost £35,000 for a number of charities over the last six years.

The triathlon challenge consisted of a 420m pool swim, a 24km cycle sprint and a 4.6km run in and around Harrogate.

Eddisons’ building and project consultancy director Joseph Fitzsimmons said:

“It was tough, but we did it. There are some sore legs in the office, but it was all worth it for this amazing cause. Having beaten our target of £7,500 we are now pushing to raise over £10,000 for the British Heart Foundation.”
