Sheffield’s Knight Frank has promoted commercial property surveyor Harry Orwin-Allen to associate and has recruited Eddie Slater to join the team as part of their work placement scheme.
Harry Orwin-Allen joined the agency’s Sheffield office as a Graduate Surveyor in 2020 and has worked with a range of clients and developers across the South Yorkshire and North Derbyshire office and industrial market.
He has now established himself as an industrial specialist and has worked with clients including Mileway, Logicor, Devonshire Group, CRT and Roe Developments.
Rebecca Schofield, office head at Knight Frank in Sheffield, said: “Harry’s promotion is thoroughly deserved. He has contributed to the continuing success of the Sheffield office of Knight Frank and has successfully built a reputation in the industrial sector handling a wide portfolio of clients.”
Real estate student Eddie Slater (20) joins the Knight Frank team as part of his degree at Leeds Beckett University. He will work with the team on industrial and office agency matters across South Yorkshire and North Derbyshire for the next year.
Eddie, who has a family background in property, said: “To secure a placement at Knight Frank, with its global reputation and respect, means I can apply the classroom knowledge to a real life environment.
“Even though I am from Sheffield, I am already getting to know the whole region on a much more detailed level and see how buildings and people interact. Everyone is so friendly, I know I will be able to pick up and learn so much from them during my time here.”
Rebecca Schofield, Partner and office head at Knight Frank in Sheffield, added: “All our placement students gain a valuable insight into life as a commercial property agent, honing both their technical and commercial skills.
“As a company we are keen to support the undergraduate work placement scheme, to invest in talent and build our future property professionals.”
