Rural land and property specialists GSC Grays have expanded their North West team.
The firm have added two more key members of staff to its new Kirkby Lonsdale office as part of their expansion.
Simon Waller, general practice director, and James Bush, associate farm business consultant, have joined Sam Cole and Holly Story in the office at Kirkby Lonsdale.
Simon is a property consultant and Chartered Surveyor with over 25 years of experience in Land Agency, Estate Management and residential development.
He offers a broad experience within the planning and development team offering the rare combination of having worked for both developers and the landowning and farming sector.
James has worked as a farm and estate manager in North Yorkshire for the last 17 years, following several years practising as a farm business consultant in the county.
He has been heavily involved in several diversification projects including biomass production and direct farm-to-consumer sales.
David Gray, chairman said: “We are delighted to welcome Simon and James who join GSC Grays at an exciting and challenging time with our ambitious expansion plans designed to deliver our expertise to an ever increasing number of clients in the North West.
“What sets GSC Grays apart is that our offices are staffed by experts who live and have a knowledge of the local area. We are proud to enjoy multiple generation relationships with many of our clients, demonstrating the strength and trust in the bonds we create.”
GSC Grays, who employ over 120 staff in 12 offices, are offering farmers in the North West free and independent farm business advice through their Farm Business Advice Service (FBAS), funded by DEFRA to support farmers and land managers during the early years of the Agricultural transition.
