(l-r) Directors Jon Symons, Paul Withers and Simon Tothill of Eagle Land
New Company

A trio of successful Bristol-based property developers have won strong financial backing for their new company Eagle Land.
Directors Jon Symons, Paul Withers and Simon Tothill secured a development portfolio worth more than £140m during the four years they worked together at Rok Development in Bristol.
Each has worked on a wide range of major development projects across the region with a number of different firms.
Now they are bringing that extensive experience to their Bristol-based company Eagle Land, which specialises in commercial and mixed-use development.
Eagle Land is receiving financial backing from Eagle One, a private property investment company.

Office Move
The integration of Bristol surveyors DTZ takes a big step forward next week as around 50 staff relocate offices across Redcliffe Bridge. The move follows DTZ’s merger with Donaldsons in July and will allow teams from both offices to sit together for the first time.
DTZ’s agency, building & project consultancy, development consulting and planning and consulting and research will be in the former Donaldson’s office at Rivergate House, with landlord and tenant, valuation and management teams in Queen Square House, the original DTZ office. The move is a short-term solution until new premises which can accommodate the entire 100 strong team are acquired in central Bristol.


David Ferris of Edwards Symmons
Partner

Edwards Symmons has announced the addition of David Ferris, who joins the Bristol office as a partner specialising in investment agency.
David joins from the Bristol office of Atisreal, and has been active in the Bristol and UK investment market for 20 years.

Also joining the Bristol office, as a senior surveyor, is Simon Philips who arrives from Workman & Partners. He will head up the south west property management department.
