"It’s an area in which we have an excellent track record in supporting healthcare clients with the unique challenges they face, including limited funding, changes in regulation and government policy and maintaining older properties that are in danger of deterioration.
"With many years of sector-specific experience, Kate will be a really valuable addition to the team across the UK, providing essential support to our lending, public, private, and primary care."
Eddisons now employs around 500 people across a national network of more than 30 offices. A string of acquisitions by the firm includes that of SDL Property Auctions and Bristol-based Andrew Forbes Chartered Surveyors at the end of 2023.
