The company was confirmed as an approved supplier in summer last year, following a rigorous selection process.
Since October 2021, Eddisons’ dedicated public sector team has added Cambridgeshire, Reading and Dudley councils to its list of local authority clients, which also includes Southampton, Enfield, Blackpool, Peterborough and Kirklees councils.

Reading Borough Council has appointed Eddisons to bring the site of its former civic centre (pictured above) — which was demolished in 2016 — to the market this summer through a formal procurement process.
In addition, the firm has been selected by Dudley Council to provide land assembly advice, combining adjacent parcels of land to form a single site on the town’s multi-million-pound Portersfield and Castle Hill regeneration schemes.
Javid Patel, head of public sector at Eddisons, said: “As local authorities and other public sector organisations increasingly turn to Eddisons for fresh ideas and new direction on stalled capital projects and masterplans, we are rapidly building a reputation for bringing innovative new thinking to problematic portfolios and development sites.
“As we emerge from the pandemic, clients are seeing immense value in appointing us as an alternative adviser in areas such as BTR, residential, extra care housing, commercial portfolios and town centre regeneration.
“We look forward to growing our market share in the public sector still further as part of our wider strategic business plan.”
