Daniel and I sat on the London and Devonshire Trust Board together over a number of years. Daniel is hard working and imaginative, with a first class attention to detail - he has an encyclopaedic knowledge of the UK planning system. He has successfully executed a wide range of property projects in the UK and Ireland spanning the residential, retail, office, industrial warehouse and energy infrastructure spaces

I have worked with Daniel on several complex acquisitions including surrender of existing leases, re-grant to third party, refurbishment and onward investment sale and also in the acquisition and disposal of residential development land. Daniel understands what is required in the delivery of deals.
Scott Rossiter
Partner at Alder King
​
I've worked with Daniel for seven years on a variety of development projects, seeking planning permissions across the residential, commercial property and energy sectors. He has an excellent understanding of all aspects of planning and development, confidently makes strategic decisions, and is adept at mobilising colleagues and consultant teams to meet project objectives
Ian Roach
Director at Roach Planning
Daniel was the only landowner that actually took the time to understand not just our business but our industry too. That not just enabled us to conclude a long term lease but lead to him developing other opportunities to work together, adding significant value to his shareholders and ours. Furthermore, his knowledge of his market(s) is exceptional, he has an eye for detail and a knack of getting deals done. I cannot recommend him highly enough
Paul Lazarevic
COO at PlutusPowergen plc
Daniel is a very creative thinker and once on a project, he is super tenacious to see it through to a successful conclusion.
