A Shropshire chartered surveyor has appointed two new members of staff at its offices in Much Wenlock - the town mayor and the youngest councillor to ever serve on the town council.
Madeleys Chartered Surveyors - based in the High Street - has announced the appointments of town mayor, Councillor Dan Thomas and Councillor Daisy Whiteman.
The expansion is due to continued growth across the business including rural, commercial and agricultural portfolios and is a move which also meets the company’s ongoing commitment of supporting the community by recruiting locally.
It means a change of career for Dan who spent the last 10 years working in HR, latterly as HR director of a local care company. He has joined Madeleys as a trainee rural surveyor and will be studying for his masters through Harper Adams University.
Daisy takes up a role in client services and marketing and will be doing a marketing apprenticeship with Madeleys.
Madeleys is a highly-respected and well-established firm that has been providing advice and consultancy to rural businesses and property owners in the agricultural sector for more than 30 years. The company covers a wide area and serves clients in Shropshire, Staffordshire, Herefordshire, the West Midlands and Cheshire.
Paul Madeley, managing director and founder of Madeleys, said: “These are very exciting times for the company as we continue to grow as a business and have some big plans in the pipeline.
“We are delighted to welcome Dan and Daisy to the team. They are both local people and come from a farming background, so both have a good knowledge and understanding of the issues currently facing rural industries.
“They are also local councillors - Dan is the current Much Wenlock Mayor while Daisy is, at 18, the youngest councillor to ever serve on the town council.
“Their appointments highlight their commitment to serving the community, something we are also proud to do as a local business of long-standing, and makes them highly desirable candidates to help Madeleys progress and develop as we move forwards."
