Our Birmingham Agency team has secured two new recruits.

Surveyor Ankur Chadha, will work alongside Senior Surveyor Jon Hinton, and Regional Director Ian Leather. Ankur, from Sutton Coldfield, has two years’ post qualification experience in property, working for his father’s successful restaurant business Jimmy Spice’s.

As Head of Property and Branding, the 25-year-old led the restaurant chain’s national expansion programme, managing rating appeals, rent reviews and service charge disputes. The City University graduate’s experience also includes two years as a surveyor at GVA Grimley in London.

Graduate Surveyor Sam Mountford has joined our Capital Markets team, led by Associate Director Adam Ramshaw. In the last three years he has gained valuable experience in office and industrial agency.

Sam, aged 26, from Worcestershire, has also spent time within the valuation department working on loan security and pension fund valuations, and with the lease advisory team dealing with rent reviews and lease renewals in the retail sector.

Ian Kibble, Head of the Birmingham office, said: “Ankur and Sam are two very talented young surveyors with great careers at LSH ahead of them. Ankur, with his wide-ranging experience, will bolster the Office Agency team, while Sam will provide valuable support to Adam Ramshaw in the Capital Markets team.”
