Andrew Morgan joins the national commercial property consultancy from Milton Keynes-based Pinders, specialist business appraisers and valuers, where he was associate director and head of the retail division.

He is based at LSH’s Birmingham city centre offices in Edmund Street and will develop the healthcare and alternative sectors within the valuation division, as well as undertake trading-related, loan security valuations.

Andrew said: “I’m looking forward to using my previous experience to develop this area of work at LSH’s valuation department. The consultancy is expanding its expertise and scope rapidly and there’s significant opportunity for further growth, which makes it an exciting time to join.”

Adam Ramshaw, regional director at LSH Birmingham and East Midlands, said: “The valuation team in the Midlands has gone from strength to strength over the last few years and now consistently values over £3 billion of assets every year for banks, funds, local authorities and some of the region’s key stakeholders.

“Andy’s appointment further diversifies the team and enhances our offering to the market. We’re quietly confident that this appointment is just the start of things to come.”
