Josh Frankel
Director
As Managing Director, Josh’s main priority since single-handedly establishing Curzon in 2009, is the strategic direction of the firm and the overall satisfaction of his clients and the Curzon Team.
Josh has 20 years’ experience in Project Management, Insurance Claims Management, Building Surveying and Expert Witness Work and is widely respected for his legal shrewdness. Having graduated in 2005 with a degree in Urban Estate Management, he entered the industry as a Valuer at AWH before moving in-house at South Central Management. Here he worked as a Development Manager on projects, typically in excess of £60M. Those initial 4 years in the industry have equipped Josh with a distinct understanding of his client’s perspective and priorities.
Typical schemes that Josh has project managed are the construction of a residential-lead mixed- use scheme, refurbishment of a 5 storey Central London office building and a state of the art high school. He is proud to have surveyed the 3rd oldest pub in the UK. He is particularly successful in negotiating surprisingly large pay-outs on insurance claims and has recently run a £600K demolition scheme under insurance cover. Josh has also acted as Party Wall Surveyor for a 600 unit student accommodation scheme as well as given Expert Evidence at Central London’s Royal Courts of Justice.
