Top development surveyor with 12 years' experience joins leading property consultancy at new Birmingham office

A development surveyor with more than 12 years’ experience in the industry has joined a leading property consultancy as it opens a new office in the heart of Birmingham.

Arthur Morgan has been appointed by Fisher German as a partner in its residential development agency team and will be based out of the firm’s new office at Fifteen Colmore Row as it looks to take advantage of the opportunities for development in and around the city.

Arthur graduated from Oxford Brookes University with a degree in Real Estate Management in 2011, before going onto work for Savills and passing his APC. In 2018, Arthur moved to Cushman & Wakefield working on several significant development schemes for public and private sector clients before joining the partnership at Fisher German.

He said: “I’m really pleased to have joined Fisher German at such an exciting time for the firm with its new office on Colmore Row in Birmingham about to open.

“I’ve been involved in residential development my entire career, and Fisher German has always been a name held in very high regard in the sector, so I jumped at the chance to join such a great firm.

“The new Birmingham office was a big draw for me too. It will mean we can liaise with clients and fellow firms in the industry much more easily and will put us in a great position to win new work.

“I’ve already been made very welcome by Fisher German’s superb development team and I’m looking forward to taking advantage of the wealth of housebuilding opportunities in Birmingham and the Midlands to grow the company further.”

Ben Marshalsay, Head of Development at Fisher German, added: “With the Birmingham office opening and housebuilding targets needing to be met across the region, we anticipate there will be a lot of opportunities in the market in the medium to long term.

“We are therefore delighted to welcome Arthur into the team at such an important time.

“He brings with him a whole host of expertise in residential development, and we anticipate he will enable Fisher German to grow its influence quickly in Birmingham and the Midlands.”

Liberty Stones, Head of Planning at Fisher German, added: “Arthur has joined the team at a time where there is a huge need for new homes across the country and, therefore, a need to secure planning permissions for these future developments.

“Planning and development go hand-in-hand, so it is great to have Arthur join us at Fisher German to strengthen the comprehensive service we provide to our clients, from promotion of sites through the Local Plan process, obtaining planning permission, and the final sale of a site.”
