ASSOCIATE MAQSOOD BEGUM JOINS HARRIS LAMB AS AN ASSOCIATE
Harris Lamb has expanded its property management team with the appointment of Maqsood Begum, who joins the business as an Associate.
Maqsood brings a strong background within commercial property management, having previously held positions at Savills, JLL, and most recently as Regional Estates Manager for Travelodge.
She joins Harris Lamb’s 14-strong management team, based at the business’ Brindleyplace office.
Further to securing a master’s degree in real estate management at Birmingham City University in 2009, Maqsood launched her commercial property career as a Graduate Surveyor with Severn Trent Water, and held positions at DTZ and JLL prior to spending seven years at Savills as a senior surveyor within the business’ property management team.
Having joined Travelodge in 2022, Maqsood was part of the organisation’s dedicated estates management team overseeing all estates matters across the UK hotel portfolio, leading on a number of significant projects including a review of the telecoms portfolio, fibre upgrades, sublet recharges, EPC and EV charging.
Shirley Greenlees, Director of the Property Management team, said: “We are delighted to welcome Maqsood to the business. She has hit the ground running since joining our team with a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of property management across a variety of portfolios, encompassing everything from service charge administration to health and safety compliance, and debt recovery action, making her a key asset to our multi-disciplined business.”
Maqsood said she was attracted to Harris Lamb having made the decision to return to property consultancy rather than in-house management.
“I wanted to join a company where I felt like I could make a difference to the organisation but also become a valued member of the business and I believe that I will achieve this with Harris Lamb,” she said.
“Harris Lamb has a great reputation within the industry, and I wanted my next role to be with an established business where I would have the opportunity to utilise my existing skills and access to the right support to grow my career.”
