Geoff Matthews and Gareth Booker have followed the building surveying route and are now qualified Chartered Building Surveyors.

Having worked and gained experience within each of the firm's specialised teams, Hannah Jones and  Andy Roberts will continue working in corporate real estate management, Kylie Bentham and Adam Smith in portfolio asset management and Will Dale within valuation. Geoff Matthews and Gareth Booker will continue in the project and building consultancy team.

Geoff Thomas, regional chairman at DTZ said: We are delighted with the recent APC results and the excellent pass rate of graduates across the region year on year. By bringing on the best graduates, we are able to provide excellent training and career opportunities, complementing our plans for the Midlands region's business."
