A Midlands commercial property surveyor with more than 30 years’ experience in the industry has joined a leading agency in the region.

Ross Bendall has joined Holt Commercial, which has offices in Coventry and Birmingham, as Senior Surveyor.

He has moved to the firm – which specialises in agency, property management, investment, and valuation & professional services – from Godfrey-Payton.

It is the latest move in a career that began with Grimley J R Eve in 1990 where Ross qualified as a Chartered Surveyor in 1992, before moving on to other roles at JLL, CBRE, LSH, Vail Williams and BNP Paribas Real Estate.

Ross said he was looking forward to supporting Holt Commercial’s growth.

He said “I was delighted when I saw this opportunity come up at Holt Commercial as I knew it was something I could get my teeth into and add value to the current offer.  The company is very well respected and, as such, is extremely busy right across all divisions.  I am pleased to be coming in to use my experience as a surveyor – that stretches back over 30 years – to help the business move forward.

Whilst market conditions are somewhat uncertain given the recent rise in base rate, inflation forecasts and the overall global economy there is still a healthy demand for the services Holt Commercial offer, and I am looking forward to working with Nick and Peter and the team in delivering the best results for our clients.”

Nick Holt, Director of Holt Commercial, added “We are delighted to have Ross on board.  He brings a wealth of experience and expertise that will be a huge asset to the business.”
