Gareth’s role will be pivotal in driving the expansion of our PBC services into the Northwest as we extend our reach across the entire UK, with established offices in London, Brighton, the West Midlands, and the Northwest.

Why did you join PBC:
PBC are an exciting, dynamic and fast-growing business which share a number of core values that I also believe to be very important – building long term relationships with clients based on trust, providing bespoke client advice and a philosophy of exceeding expectations. I want to build on the PBC successes within London and the south, and create a northern business which excels in the real estate industry.
Can you breakdown your experience and education:
Experience:
JLL – Director (Feb 2015 – Mar 2025)
Deloitte Real Estate – Senior Building Surveyor (Dec 2012 – Feb 2015)
Drivers Jonas – Chartered Building Surveyor (Feb 2007 – Nov 2012)
Education:
Liverpool John Moores University (MSc Commercial Building Surveying 2005-2006)
Manchester Metropolitan University (BA Hons Business 2001-2005)
What are your specialisms:
As a building surveyor I advise clients on a range of needs using my experience / technical understanding of the current condition and future performance of a building’s structure and fabric.
Instructions would typically include due diligence for transactions and financing, feasibility studies, maintenance and repair inspections, dilapidation matters and reinstatement cost assessments.
In addition, when acting within a Project Manager role, this generally entails delivering new construction schemes, as well as refurbishment and fit-out projects across all property types, sectors and sizes. I have experience working with both private and public sector clients on small refurbishment schemes with values from £50k – £ 250k and large fit-out / new build projects ranging from £250k – £6m.
What is your proudest career achievement:
I am hugely proud of mentoring 13 Building Surveying graduates through the APC process, and a number of those surveyors are now very successful Directors in their own right.
What’s your perspective on the current market in the Northwest:
Whilst the industry has experienced a turbulent time in recent years, it appears that we’re approaching the tail end of this difficult period.
The North is very well placed for development, and you only need to look at the skyline in Manchester, Liverpool and Leeds to see just how much these cities have changed over the last decade, despite these difficulties. Taking Manchester as an example, it is leading the way in construction; the region is one of the fastest growing places in Europe and continues to have a strong and growing economy.
