London, UK – As part of its continuing strategy of expanding its UK retail service offering, Knight Frank has appointed three new partners to its Retail team in London.
Andrew Smith and Ben Tyack will join from Savills plc where they are part of its in-town retail team. They previously worked together at Blair Kirkman. Andrew will focus on UK occupier agency work and Ben will focus
on UK landlord agency work. Calum Ewing will join from Atisreal Ltd where he is an Associate Director leading its Retail & Leisure Agency team focusing on occupier and landlord agency work. Calum will focus on Central London retail and high street agency work.
These appointments are hot on the heels of the recent appointment of Mark Poyner as Head of Retail who joined Knight Frank at the end of September from Prudential Property Investment Managers Ltd.
Alistair Elliott, head of commercial, Knight Frank said: “These appointments continue our strategy of increasing and strengthening our UK retail service line. Coupled with our established team, we now have the resources to
deal with the full breadth of clients in this sector, acknowledging that many have been seeking greater depth to our business in this area. I am confident we are able to provide them with the services they require and have no
doubt that under Mark’s expert guidance, the Retail team will continue to grow and achieve excellent results.”
Mark Poyner, head of retail, Knight Frank said: “I am delighted that these guys are joining the team. They each bring an excellent track record and experience which serve to further bolster the team.”
