Knight Frank expands Newcastle building consultancy team
Taryn Wallace joins as senior surveyor from Hollis, responsible for project managing developments across the North East, including schemes such as the refurbishment of the Toffee Factory in Ouseburn.
Wallace spent seven years at Hollis after qualifying as a building surveyor at Northumbria University, and prior to that was a paralegal at Ward Hadaway for nine years.
She is also a part-time RICS APC assessor.
Wallace said: “I’d always wanted to work for Knight Frank and applied for a placement role with them back in 2018 whilst I was at uni.
“The strength of the team was a big factor in my decision to ask Knight Frank for a job. I’ve come across almost all the North East building consultancy teams previously and they were always great to deal with and have a fantastic reputation, locally.
“What also stood out to me was the longevity of the wider Newcastle team; loads of colleagues have spent decades with the business, which speaks volumes about Knight Frank as an employer.
Ian Tew, head of Newcastle office at Knight Frank, said: “We’re very busy working on a range of new construction, refurbishments, and surveys across the North and Taryn has hit ground running – taking a lot of pressure off the team.”
