Breakey & Nuttall welcome Alex Sykes to their team

Alex Sykes - Breakey & Nuttall

ALEX Sykes is the latest recruit at Oldham-based chartered surveyors and property consultants Breakey & Nuttall. He joined the team at the Salmon Fields, Royton, head office in April and is quickly establishing himself as a valued addition to the Professional Service teams who offer Valuation and Lease Advice. He is currently studying for a Level 3 Award in Commercial Property, via Property Mark and NAEA Commercial, and will enrol with the University College of Estate Management (London) to complete the RICS Pathway for Chartered Status. Alex was not even a part of the industry five months ago. He spent the first 20 years of his working life in the food industry, latterly with Oldham-based Best Food Logistics, where he held a varied roles across several departments. “Joining us in April 2021 was a complete career change for Alex and arguably a risk taken by both parties but he has quickly settled into the role,” admits partner Joanne Nuttall who, with Chris Breakey, established the consultancy in 2011. Joanne added: “We were looking to add to our team and I simply went with a hunch. I have known Alex through a long-standing family connection, and we attended the same Oldham secondary school so there was no better candidate for the opportunity.” Alex attended Oldham 6th Form College before moving onto Huddersfield University to study fine art. “He has always had a keen interest in maths and technology so working as part of the professional services team is proving quite successful, ”Chris added. Alex told Business Edge: “The opportunity to join the team here at Breakey & Nuttall was one I didn’t expect but it was an easy decision for me to make. The training and support programme is intense but enjoyable and everyone has greatly assisted me to complete my first set of commercial property exams.”
