About us
A service-based concept
Spinnaka was conceived as a service-based concept by David Gillam when he set up the company with four other industry-related colleagues in December 2002. From the start, the team wanted clients to receive high quality reports in market-leading times. David, calling on his 25 years' experience in the Valuation Industry – including being Chief Executive of the Business at what is now known as E Surv – always felt that clients would not only respond to such a quick-moving service, but also be able to push their own businesses forward.
The national network of locally-based valuers (many from small practices rather than bigger organisations) is handled from our Newcastle head office. Though the vast majority of our 35 staff manage the instructions and ensure the valuers get the job booked and returned as swiftly as possible, others work in the Audit, Accounts, and Client Relationship Management areas.
The figures add up
In Spinnaka's first six years of operation we've completed over 250,000 valuations. The growth has been steady and even in 2008, the business traded profitably despite the effects of the so-called 'credit crunch'.
Our network boasts 450 separate instruction sources who valued some £15 billion worth of property in 2007. In the year, we handled £11.3 million worth of fees.
