As part of generating an organic growth target of £1.3 million, a new face joins Silcock Dawson's Leeds office. With that aim in mind and to strengthen the firm's northern operations, Tony May has been appointed regional managing director.

With more than 25 years experience in all sectors of the industry including specialised expertise in the commercial and retail sectors, Tony was formally a director of well known Wallace Whittle's Leeds office for five years.

The move is also part of a programme to further enhance the firm's key client management procedures.

John Silcock, co-founder and director of Silcock Dawson welcomed Tony's appointment by saying: "Our strong presence in the North of England will undoubtedly be enhanced by Tony's appointment. His experience both of the company and the industries we serve will certainly be put to good use as we continue to develop into a world class organisation."
