Whatmuff, who leaves King Sturge after five years, said: “This is a very exciting move; there is a strong team ethos at LSH with a proven track record for supporting their staff.  “I believe the Yorkshire market is set to see further growth and I am looking forward to establishing LSH’s place at the heart of the action.”
