Our Story.
Consul was founded in 1990 by Pat Connolly and Pat O’Brien, two chartered surveyors who specialised in the public sector namely local authorities and housing associations. Following the passing of Pat O’Brien in 2010, Pat Connolly continued as the sole Director.
In 2019, following the retirement of Pat Connolly, Daniel Ross, an employee of Consul for over 10 years was selected to succeed the practice. Daniel bought in Christopher Evans, a long term associate within the industry to partner the company, and together with Harry Spooner, a long term associate director, ensure Consul continue to exceed our clients expectations.
