President @ Esher Rugby

About

I’m an experienced equity partner in a niche property consultancy specialising in the investment market with particular focus on transactions and the strategic asset management of retail and mixed use assets. I bring over 20 years of experience having transacted and advised on over £600 million worth of assets over the last 3 years both on and off the market. Clients include DWS, Nuveen, Hermes, CBREGI, Areli, Tikehau Capital, Patrizia and Tristan Capital Partners . As a Partner my work involves the effective management of the team and the strategic asset management of assets. Additionally I’m a Chartered Surveyor and a contributing member of the Revo and Accessible Retail. In my leisure time I enjoy all sports both participating and watching. I also love spending quality family time with my two young girls. I would have loved to have met Mohamad Ali, who I believe is the greatest sports person of my life time. Both for what he did for boxing and the inspiration he was to others during a tough political environment. #Retail #CapitalMarkets #RetailInvestment
