LAND and property consultancy George F White has appointed a new investment director.

Miles Crossley joins the firm following nine years at Banks Group, where he was a senior business development manager.

Robyn Peat, managing partner at George F White, said: "Hiring Miles is a coup for us as he brings with him a wealth of relevant and specialist experience from his previous role."

Mr Crossley said: "My role involves identifying individuals and organisations with capital to invest and helping them to meet their objectives by advising them through often complex and challenging environments found within the land, property and energy sector.

"Coupled with this, I will be proactively identifying land with development potential unlocking value for landowners."
