Promotion for Ben Christian at expanding property firm Vail Williams

Expanding property consultancy Vail Williams has made a series of strategic promotions on the South Coast as business demand continues to grow.

Among 11 financial year-end promotions across the firm’s six regions in England is a new partner in Ben Christian (planning, Portsmouth and Southampton).

Ben's promotion comes as the 175-strong firm, with 50 partners, remains ahead of target in its current growth blueprint, having enjoyed its best-ever year with increased revenues of £18.3 million for 2022-23.

Matthew Samuel-Camps, Managing Partner, said the 11 promotions reflected outstanding individual contributions to the business during the previous 12 months and rewarded continued hard work.

“We very much believe in promoting from within and developing and retaining our own top talent. Outstanding personal contributions to our business growth have been rightly recognised.

“It is a joy to witness career trajectories taking off, with self-development and advancement through the business dependent only on exceptional performance, results and attitude whatever a person’s age.”

Vail Williams is based across 12 offices in the Midlands and south of England - Lakeside North Harbour in Portsmouth, Southampton, Bournemouth, Birmingham, Crawley, Brighton, Woking, Heathrow, Leeds, London and Reading, with a new Oxford office opening earlier this year.

The firm was also awarded the prestigious Investors in People Gold accreditation and continues to publish its annual carbon emissions report on a journey towards net zero by 2030.

Other promotions in the wider Solent region are partner Bryony Thompson (agency, Bournemouth) and new associate Ben Duly (investment, Bournemouth).

Vail Williams offers a comprehensive range of commercial and residential property services for occupiers, landlords, developers and property investors.
