International real estate advisor Savills has recently appointed UK board director, James Evans, as head of national office agency.
James is currently head of Savills Manchester office, a role which he will also continue, and has been with the business since 2006. Specialising in providing both disposal work for local property companies and larger institutional clients and acquisition advice to a number of key regional and national clients, James has been involved in a number of significant office schemes in Manchester including: St Peters Square, First Street, Mayfield, The Lincoln, 125 Deansgate and Circle Square.
Jeremy Bates, executive director and head of transactional services at Savills, comments: “The growing strength and depth of Savills 50-strong national office agency team is underlined by the unrivalled presence we have in each of the key cities across the UK. We have great confidence in the resilience and future performance of these and continue to invest in innovating our services for investors, occupiers and developers across the UK. I am very pleased to have James leading the team to further build on this success.”
James Evans adds: “The regional office markets have been through a period of fundamental change over the last two years as occupiers and landlords adjust to the impacts of the pandemic. With the office world returning to greater levels of activity it is a very exciting time to be a part of this market and I am very much looking forward to working with our already strong national network to provide the best service to new and existing clients.”
Savills national office agency team has a presence in 16 offices across the UK including: London; Manchester; Birmingham; Bristol; Oxford; Cambridge; Bristol; Cardiff; Edinburgh; Glasgow; Aberdeen; Southampton, Ipswich, Leeds, Chelmsford and Peterborough.
