Savills Promotes Three Valuers

Savills Australia’s National Valuation and Advisory service line has announced three new promotions at its Sydney and Melbourne offices following the expansion of the business nationally.

In Sydney, Sandra Peachey has been promoted to the role of National Director - Mortgage Valuations, whilst in Melbourne Ross Smillie has been promoted to National Director – Industrial Valuations and Joe Phegan has been appointed to the role of State Director - VIC.

Savills National Head Valuation and Advisory, Stuart Fox, said the appointments would enhance Savills capacity to provide the most comprehensive service to existing and new clients.

He said Mr Phegan had progressed into a nationally recognised valuations specialist whilst continuing to manage the growth of Savills Mortgage Valuation capability within Victoria.

“For many years Joe has been acknowledged as an obvious leadership candidate and it is fitting that the growth in our business provides him with the opportunity to assume the role of State Director,” Mr Fox said.

He said Mr Smillie had been instrumental in the growth of Savills Industrial Valuation capability both within Victoria and nationally in his co-ordination of a number of portfolio engagements over the past 12 months.

“His elevation to the role of National Director – Industrial Valuations is testament to the high regard in which he is held by both peers and clients,” Mr Fox said.

He said Ms Peachey had been integral in both consolidating and enhancing Savills relationships with the major banking Institutions.

“Sandra has ensured that Savills Valuation & Advisory is seen as a credible service provider right across the property sector and fully deserves her promotion,” Mr Fox said.

Sandra Peachey will be based at Savills 50 Bridge Street, Sydney office while Ross Smillie and Joe Phegan will be based at Savills 140 William Street headquarters in Melbourne.
