Julian Sandbach, head of Central London Office Markets at JLL, said: “Richard and Hugh will be excellent additions to JLL’s market leading Central London capital markets business and we are excited to have them joining us. They both bring a proven track record of strong client advisory work and will further enhance the team with their recognised client relationships and strong skill sets, which will be very complimentary under our existing platform.
“Central London continues to provide unique opportunities for investors and developers, and it was encouraging to see the market had a strong finish to 2021 both in terms of leasing and investment. We move into 2022 in an optimistic and positive frame of mind, but are still mindful of the wider challenges that London and other global investment hubs face. 2022 will be a year when we continue to see investors seek out the highest quality, most sustainable opportunities, either as standing investments or committing to creating the best through development, via funding and/or joint venturing.
“In addition, Investors are increasingly optimistic about London’s positive economic prospects in a post Brexit environment. The arrival of Richard and Hugh will add even greater depth and market coverage to the JLL team to enable us to continue to deliver for our clients.”
