The project, joint ventured with the British Waterways Board, was development led by Trafalgar House, one of the UK’s largest development and construction public companies.
In the role of Development Valuer (Manager) for the project, John Coers’ principle responsibilities were supporting the Project Director during the preconstruction phase, particularly land purchasing, design, planning, consenting and project financial analysis.
