Adrian Trent, FRICS

Founder & Managing Director

BSc (Hons), FRICS, MAPM

Adrian founded Future54 in 2013 having identified the core values needed to establish a successful property consultancy that could provide first-class, independent Project and Cost Management services.

Prior to graduating from Brighton University with a Diploma in Architecture and a degree in Building Surveying, Adrian then formally qualified as a Chartered Surveyor in 1998 and in the early years of his career gained exceptional experience within Central London’s private property firms such as Hillier Parker May & Rowden and Chesterton International.

A thirst for adventure saw Adrian then embark on sponsored Project Management role based in Sydney, Australia. Adrian stayed working on Sydney’s CBD high-rise commercial office buildings for clients such as AMP Investments and Colonial First State before returning to the UK in 2002.

In 2003, Adrian was appointed as a Project Manager within KHK Group, which was subsequently purchased by Jones Lang LaSalle (JLL) in 2008. Adrian swiftly achieved the position of Director and Department Lead for the Hotels & Leisure Project and Cost Management divisions, servicing key clients such as Starwood Capital (Starman), Whitbread Premier Inn, 4C Hotels, Kew Green Hotels, The Dorchester Collection, Edwardian Group and Jurys Inn.

In 2013, with Adrian’s diverse and in-depth experience, Future54 was created.
