Richard SHINFIELD

Lichfield,Staffs

Summary

I have worked in the property and construction sector for over 40 years.

After training I worked in a specialist property tax business from 1987 and became an equity partner in 1995.

The company was purchased by Davis Langdon who at the time were the largest cost consultants globally.

I became one of 72 equity partners in the business

In 2010 Aecom purchased Davis Langdon and I headed up the Banking Tax and Finance team that ultimately became property solutions

My main role was to sell the specialist services to mainstream clients and grow the business.

I felt like in 2023 I had taken this as far as I can and am looking for a new challenge in running another specialist services team within a national practice.
