Hello - it’s Monday and so it’s PJT, where you can catch up on the industry major moves of recent days.

In the meantime, here we go with this week.

Sales company Property Perspective has appointed ex-Countrywide and Strakers employee Scott Windle as regional valuer for the South West and South Wales, operating from bases near Bristol and Cardiff.

Property Perspective works with large and small housebuilders, property developers and housing associations.

“My previous experience seemed to suit the Property Perspective role perfectly and I wanted to use my knowledge and experience and work for a forward thinking, pro-active, friendly and professional company” explains Scott. 

Elsewhere, Property Perspective has promoted three key figures.

Alex May (below right) has been promoted to the role of relationship manager. He will be a key point of contact between the company and clients. Jon Bryan (left) has been promoted to valuation manager after being a senior valuer for the past six years.

And Karen Bury (centre) has been promoted to head of sales. “Having worked my way up within the business, I fully understand each of the account team’s roles and this helps me to push them to achieve their targets and meet their full potential” she says.

And finally this week to London, where one of the Carter Jonas associate partners - Charlie Gibson - has left the firm after eight years.

He’s now established his own consultancy, Oliver Bernard Private, and he’s continuing to offer three-days-a-week consultancy to PropTech firm Vyomm.
