Hollis has announced the appointment of Colin Field as director in its Cost Management team, based in London. This further strengthens the firm’s capability as demand for commercially focused cost advice continues to grow across the capital.
Colin’s appointment marks another significant step forward for Hollis as it continues to expand its multi-disciplinary offering across London and the wider UK market. Working closely with colleagues across Project Management, Building Surveying and Sustainability, Colin will support clients across a wide range of sectors, providing strategic Cost Management and commercial advice from early feasibility through to project delivery.
Colin joins Hollis after a career at Gleeds and WT Partnership, where he developed extensive experience delivering Cost Management and quantity surveying services across complex development and refurbishment projects. With a strong track record advising clients on cost planning, procurement and project delivery, he brings valuable expertise to support Hollis’ continued growth in London’s highly competitive real estate market.
Mark Smith, head of Cost Management at Hollis, said, “Colin’s appointment is a fantastic addition to our London team. We’re seeing increasing demand from clients who want rigorous, commercially focused cost advice delivered by people who understand buildings and development inside out. Colin brings a wealth of experience from across the sector and a collaborative approach that aligns perfectly with the way we work at Hollis. His arrival further strengthens our ability to support clients on complex projects across London and beyond.”
Colin stated, “I’m delighted to have joined Hollis at such an exciting time for the business. The firm’s reputation for technical excellence and its genuinely collaborative, multi-disciplinary approach really stood out to me. It’s great to be joining a growing Cost Management team with strong momentum in London, and I’m looking forward to working with colleagues across the business to help deliver great outcomes for our clients.”
Hollis’ Cost Management team forms a core part of the firm’s multi-disciplinary offering, working alongside Project Management, Building Consultancy, Sustainability and Engineering specialists to help clients unlock value, manage risk and deliver successful projects across the UK and Europe. The team recently hired Danny McKinney as Cost Manager in Glasgow and Madhurima Patil as Associate Cost Manager in Amsterdam.
Colin’s appointment reinforces Hollis’ commitment to investing in experienced talent as the firm continues to grow its London presence and expand its Cost Management capability.
