I am an Associate based in Gerald Eve’s London West End office, providing advice regarding minerals, waste management and related industries. I joined Gerald Eve in 2018 after completing an undergraduate degree in Engineering Geology and a master’s degree in Surveying and Land/Environment Management at Camborne School of Mines. I have also worked as a Grade Control Geologist in the china clay operations situated in St Austell, Cornwall.
My skillset extends to estates management, landlord and tenant, and agency advice for mineral and waste property. Clients I have worked for include operators, landlords, tenants, lending institutions and acquiring authorities.
I am a Chartered Surveyor, RICS Registered Valuer and member of the Rating Surveyors’ Association, experienced in a range of mineral and waste asset types, and have undertaken work for a variety of client sites across the south of England. Our Minerals team extend to regional offices in Leeds and Cardiff and we frequently collaborate on projects to utilise specialist regional knowledge.
I understand the oddities and complexities that accompany mineral and waste property and how the characteristics of this property necessitates keen attention to detail.
