Taylor&Emmet—Steve Hinshelwood & John Outram

Residential property experts appointed as consultants

Sheffield firm Taylor&Emmet LLP announced the appointment of a pair of residential property experts as consultants with the firm.

Steve Hinshelwood (right) comes on board with more than 30 years of experience in estate agency and financial services, with previous positions including serving as managing director of Blundells Property Services and of Countrywide plc. John Outram (left) has also been appointed as a consultant, following his retirement from the role of senior partner at Taylor&Emmet in April.

Department head Neil Riley (centre) said: ‘Both Steve and John have invaluable experience and insight into the residential property sector that we believe will support and enhance the service we offer. To remain at the forefront of this competitive sector, we must identify opportunities for growth and continue to improve keys areas, such as transaction speeds and lines of communication. By inviting their scrutiny, I have no doubt we will find innovative ways to challenge our teams and evolve to meet changing expectations.’
