Cromack said: “The P&M division of Michael Steel & Co is well known in the industry and we’re delighted to have Mark on board.  His depth of knowledge across asset values will contribute to the delivery of accurate and expedient RICS valuations the market knows BPI AA for.”

However, Michael Steel & Co’s property division is not included in this transaction. It will continue to operate independently and remain open for business as usual.

Hodgson said: “We built the P&M practice by putting client requirements first.  The synergies with BPI AA’s approach to client relationships and prioritising delivery made the move a natural fit. Both Michelle and I are delighted to be part of the BPI team.” 

BPI Group MD David Boulton says: “Valuation and sale turn-around times are pivotal to BPI’s offering. The acquisition delivers growth for the asset advisory division and allows us to continue to respond rapidly to the needs of our clients.”
