Background and industry experience

Frances works in our telecoms team covering a national spread of private, corporate and institutional clients on a retained and ad hoc basis. She handles all aspects of telecoms matters including new site agreements, lease renewals, upgrades, disposals and strategic consultancy for both greenfield and rooftop sites.

With a strong understanding of the Electronic Communications Code and evolving tribunal decisions, she regularly advises clients on complex technical matters such as the exercising of redevelopment clauses, lift and shift provisions and WIP site opportunities.

Before specialising in telecoms, Frances spent over five years managing landed estates and overseeing all aspects of residential, commercial and agricultural property management. She was responsible for several hundred units across eight portfolios spanning from Cheshire to Hampshire, including rent collection, compliance, planned/reactive maintenance and diversification initiatives to maximise returns.

About me

When did you join Fisher German?
2020

What has been your favourite project and why?
I think this has to be setting up a wedding venue on an estate from the initial proposal, procurement and appointment of a freelance wedding planner, negotiation of the contracts and subsequently refurbishment of the adjacent 17th century lodge as a luxury bridal suite.

Top pastime?
Multi-day through hikes in the mountains - the Lakes, Scotland, France. I love planning the trips (spreadsheets are my thing!) and escaping to the back end of beyond. There's nothing better than a challenge and being so far removed from the everyday.

Best holiday destination?
I'll let you know when I've found it

One item to take to a desert island?
