Leeds property consultancy Zerum expands ownership

Russell Wright-Turner has joined Zerum’s ownership group, marking a significant milestone for the multi-disciplinary property consultancy. Wright-Turner, a key figure in the company for several years, will continue to lead and expand Zerum’s cost management business as partner.

Russell joined Zerum in 2020 as head of the consultancy’s cost management business. He leads the team delivering high-quality project services across a range of sectors, including residential, commercial, purpose-built student accommodation, hotels, and retail.

Under Russell’s leadership, Zerum’s cost management team has contributed to several high-profile projects, including Gorton Street’s 40-storey co-living tower in Salford; Capital & Centric’s 190 unit, Talbot Mill, in Manchester; Blacklight’s recently completed £60m student scheme, Limelight, in Liverpool and the 284-unit private rented scheme, The Tilt Works, in Sheffield, delivered by Grainger.

Wright-Turner expressed his enthusiasm about the new partnership, stating: “Over the last 5 years, we have worked with some amazing clients that have seen us successfully deliver over 2,250 BTR units. Credit must be given to our team, who continue to adapt quickly to challenges and remain proactive in helping developers navigate ever-increasing viability pressures.

“I am delighted to be joining the Zerum board at what is a very exciting time for the business as it enters its next phase of growth. We plan to expand into regions outside of the North West and Yorkshire, and I am looking forward to playing a key role in supporting our strategic objectives and growing the team while continuing to deliver the highest level of service to our clients.”

In his new role as partner, he will also be responsible for overseeing and implementing Zerum’s corporate Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) strategy across the company’s various business lines.

Beyond cost management, Zerum also offers project management, planning, and transport services across its various divisions and works throughout the UK.
