King Sturge has recruited five new staff to join its Bristol office.
The agent has recruited Laura Gardner and James Prescott as surveyors in its investment department and building department.
Lauren Metcalf, Keir Chastney and Ben St. Quintin have joined the healthcare valuation, industrial and residential teams respectively as assistant surveyors.
Jeremy Richards, partner in charge at King Sturge in Bristol, said: “It is extremely encouraging to be recruiting staff following what has been an extremely difficult period in the property industry and economy as a whole. This recruitment represents a cautious return to growth in areas which are particularly busy and performing well.”
