Gaunts Ltd appoints new MD

Here at Gaunts Ltd, we welcome new Managing Director, Paul Curson.

Paul, a chartered surveyor with over 30 years’ experience in property and asset management across Yorkshire and the UK, will be based at our main site, Springfield Mills in Farsley.

Curson was at JLL for 27 years, dealing with assets across the UK, and heading up the Property and Asset Team in Leeds, with an extensive portfolio of properties across Yorkshire and the North East. Before making the move to Gaunts, he was at CBRE for just over 2 years overseeing a large team responsible for office, industrial and retail assets across the UK.

“For the last two years, I have been working largely remotely and dealing with assets in London and Manchester.  I was keen on this role, as I wanted to work locally and as part of a day-to-day team. I have really missed the social interaction of being in an office. I enjoyed meeting the other Directors before accepting the role and hearing of their plans including their commitment to sustainability initiatives.

As well as developing the portfolio, Curson is keen to raise the profile of Gaunts, updating the company’s online presence, and improving brand recognition, by creating a consistent and cohesive identity across the company.

“I know Paul has the wealth of experience needed to consolidate Gaunts Ltd’s success and I look forward to seeing the expansion and growth of the business in the coming years under his leadership” says Chris Pratt, former MD and now non-executive Board Director.
