London-based Chartered Building Surveyors, Earl Kendrick Associates (EKA), has appointed Kim Tasso to the Board as a Non-Executive Director from 1st January 2017.
EKA was established in 2010 by Julian Davies. With offices in London and Brighton, it has become established as a leading building surveying practice specialising in the property management sector. EKA has won the Surveyor of the Year award for four consecutive years at the Property Management Awards.
Managing Director, Julian Davies commented:
“We have grown every year and the business has changed in many ways. One thing remains consistent, and that’s our belief that chartered surveying is about people as much as buildings. That’s the case across the spectrum, from residential blocks to commercial property. Kim understands that perfectly. She has been working with us since March 2016 on management projects including our leadership academy, team development, business planning and the opening of our Brighton office in July. Her knowledge of the property sector allied to her outstanding management skills will help accelerate our growth plans as will her buy-in to our service philosophy.”
“Kim’s credentials in our industry are outstanding. She has worked with a number of leading property firms, was formerly a columnist for property magazine Estates Gazette, and has published books including one on growing property partnerships. She is a regular speaker on management and marketing in surveying and property firms.”
Kim Tasso, added:
“Earl Kendrick Associates is a fascinating firm – ambitious whilst committed to providing a people-first, quality service to a fast growing client base. They have achieved a lot this year in addition to remarkable financial success – the relocation of their London office, a rebranding and new web site, the creation of a marketing team, the opening of an office in Brighton and a joint-venture party wall company. And there are a number of exciting projects in the pipeline which will further expand the depth and range of their services. I am very excited about the firm’s future and my part in it.”
