Farsley commercial property firm Gaunts Ltd has welcomed new managing director, Paul Curson.
Mr Curson, a chartered surveyor with over 30 years’ experience in property and asset management, will be based at their main site, Springfield Mills in Farsley.
Mr Curson was at JLL for 27 years, dealing with assets across the UK, and heading up the property and asset team in Leeds, with an extensive portfolio of properties across Yorkshire and the North East. Before making the move to Gaunts, he was at CBRE for just over two years overseeing a large team responsible for office, industrial and retail assets across the UK.
“For the last two years, I have been working largely remotely and dealing with assets in London and Manchester,” he said. “I was keen on this role, as I wanted to work locally and as part of a day-to-day team.”
As well as developing the portfolio, Curson is keen to raise the profile of Gaunts, updating the company’s online presence, and improving brand recognition by creating a consistent and cohesive identity across the company.
Chris Pratt, former MD and now non-executive board director, welcomed the appointment. He said: “I know Paul has the wealth of experience needed to consolidate Gaunts Ltd’s success and I look forward to seeing the expansion and growth of the business in the coming years under his leadership”
Gaunts are currently building eight new hybrid units at their main site, Springfield Mills in Farsley, for fledging businesses, which are due for completion at the end of the year. For enquiries, please visit gauntsproperty.co.uk or call 0113 236 3555.
Gaunts Ltd’s commercial property portfolio consists of 11 sites across West and North Yorkshire with a mix of office, leisure, industrial and retail premises for up to 200 businesses.
