For Cavendish Tate the benefits are also manifold. “We see this as an ideal partnership” says Gareth Morgan, managing director of Cavendish Tate. “A major benefit of joining the Aitchison Raffety Group will be the ability to increase our Professional Indemnity insurance to a level sufficient to undertake substantial valuations such as acute hospitals. In addition we look forward to the opportunities that come with being part of a larger group and to growing our business accordingly.” The two directors of Cavendish Tate are well respected Chartered Surveyors. Gareth Morgan BSc (Hons) FRICS FAVLP SSBV CEnv was recently re-elected to the governing council of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors, is chairman of the Membership Board and has acted as RICS spokesman on healthcare matters. In 1994 he wrote the first RICS Valuation and Guidance Notes for Private Healthcare and is therefore an acknowledged expert in this specialist field. Over the last 20 years he has been regularly consulted by the UK government in connection with spatial standards and quality grading by registration teams in the care home sector. Russell Lane BSc (Hons) FRICS FAAV FAVLP chairs the RICS APC think-tank, is a member of the PII Policy Panel, a senior international APC Chairman/assessor and is active in the field of valuation of intangible assets.
