A chartered surveying practice has launched a new office in Birmingham.
Proximity has recruited surveyor Robert Rankine as associate director from AA Projects to lead the new set up at the Arca building in Temple Row.
The firm is headquartered in Altrincham, Greater Manchester, and was launched in 2022 by directors Mike Scanlan and Tom Kibblewhite.
It works with developers on property projects across the UK, identifying and mitigating the risk associated with rights of light, party walls, daylight, sunlight and solar glare amenity impacts. Its client roster includes HBD, Moda and Property Alliance Group.

Mr Scanlan said: “Since launching Proximity in 2022, we have always been ambitious about our growth. Our expansion into Birmingham is a key part of that wider strategy.
“While Tom and I are based in Manchester, we advise on developments across the country so the new Birmingham office provides a more central base while bringing us closer to new opportunities in the city.
“It’s an exciting time for the business and it’s fantastic to have Rob on board as we look to grow our client base in the Midlands.”
