I’m a Partner at Gerald Eve, specialising in minerals and waste management. I advise operators, lending institutions, landlords and other interested parties on all property aspects of mineral bearing land, quarries, waste management facilities, wharves, railheads, industrial land and specialist industrial property.

I have over 30 years’ experience in the minerals and waste management property sectors. I am an experienced Expert Witness and have presented successful evidence at Lands Tribunal.

I am on the RICS Presidents Panels as an Arbitrator and Independent Expert and also act as a single Joint Expert. I provide advice regarding Valuation, Compulsory Purchase, Landlord & Tenant, Agency and Rating.
