Andrew Cooper has joined Assura as a senior chartered surveyor.

Prior to this role, Cooper has held development and property management roles with Total Property Solutions and WM Morrison.

Assura property director Andrew Darke said: “We’re delighted to have Andrew joining us at such a busy time – we have some really innovative and ambitious programmes in motion but ultimately, it’s the skill and expertise of our team which deliver the fit-for-purpose buildings that GPs so desperately need.

“With the two biggest political parties both pledging to improve NHS buildings during the next parliament, this is a particularly crucial time to be expanding the range of our experience even further.”

The company plans to add another two surveyors to the property management team in the coming months too.
