Reviewed by Joe Ashwell
First reported on The Construction Index
30 Second Briefing
Addison Hunt has appointed chartered quantity surveyor and project manager Daniel Garfoot as director of its Lincoln office, six months after opening the branch and only weeks after hiring senior quantity surveyor Steve Fleming. The Loughborough and Lincoln-based consultancy now employs 13 staff and is coming off its strongest first quarter on record, with a significant local project pipeline across Lincolnshire and the Midlands. Garfoot, with over 25 years’ experience in the Lincolnshire market, will work alongside directors Chris Hunt and Simon Collin to lead the next phase of regional expansion.
Technical Brief
- Appointment follows recruitment of senior quantity surveyor Steve Fleming only weeks earlier, rapidly deepening cost-management capacity.
- Lincoln office has completed its first six months trading before this leadership change was confirmed.
- During that period, the Lincoln team reports a “significant pipeline of work” now in pre‑delivery stages.
- Local client relationships across Lincolnshire have been “enhanced”, indicating repeat work potential on regional infrastructure schemes.
- Strongest first-quarter performance on record underpins cashflow for further technical hiring and project controls investment.
- For similar regional consultancies, early senior appointments in new branches can de-risk programme, cost and claims management.
Our Take
With only 13 staff, Addison Hunt sits at the smaller end of UK infrastructure consultancies in our database, so adding a Lincoln-based director suggests a push to secure more direct access to regional clients and frameworks across Lincolnshire and the wider Midlands.
The Lincolnshire and Midlands regions feature regularly in our 841-piece Infrastructure corpus for road, rail and local authority asset upgrades, so a senior hire rooted in Lincoln is likely aimed at positioning Addison Hunt for upcoming public-sector project pipelines rather than one-off schemes.
Garfoot’s 25 years of experience is at the upper range for leadership appointments in our recent UK infrastructure coverage, which typically signals an intent to move from pure project delivery into more strategic advisory and programme management roles for local clients.
