A Shropshire firm of chartered surveyors continues to expand
with the appointment of an additional practitioner at its
Shrewsbury office.
Berrys has appointed John Cooke as a trainee surveyor following
a successful placement year with the firm in 2008/9. John, 22, from
St. Georges, Telford is a keen motor cycle racer and currently
holds the British 50cc championship.
Off the race track, he is completing an honours degree in Rural
Enterprise and Land Management at Harper Adams University College,
and will primarily be assisting Stephen Locke and Amanda Seedhouse
at Berrys with planning and environmental consultancy at the
Shrewsbury Business Park office.
He is enrolled on the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors
(RICS) Assessment of Professional Competence and will be working
towards full membership of the RICS and Central Association of
Agricultural Valuers (CAAV) over the coming months.
"We are delighted to welcome John to our growing team," said
Stephen Locke, who leads the planning and environment team at
Shrewsbury.
"Despite the challenging economic climate, the Berrys brand
continues to flourish and we have expanded a number of our
specialist teams to further enhance the quality of service we
offer," he said.
Berrys also has offices in East Midlands and North West and has
just expanded its utilities team based at Northwich, Cheshire to
cater for the increasing demand for compulsory purchase and
compensation work in that sector.
