I have 30+ years of experience in real estate, with a clear focus on the commercial property market, within the UK and Europe, and am currently the Founding Partner at Hollis. My journey began at Hollis in 1991, where I quickly became Senior Partner 3 years after. In 2021 the Partnership became an Employee Ownership Trust, where I operated within the Board as Chairman. I’ve now stepped down as Chairman, but remain heavily involved with business activities and strategy. Throughout my time at Hollis, I’ve overseen the business grow from a team of 4 to 500+ today, which I’m incredibly proud of. The phenomenal growth and success of the businesses is down to the outstanding talent and innovation of our people and clients who I’m grateful to work alongside. Today my work is three fold; Firstly, I’m committed to support and uplift the leadership team at Hollis. Secondly it’s crucial that I continue to look after and maintain client relationships, and ensure our people are getting the best possible solutions and guidance. Thirdly, I’m dedicated to my charitable work with Worshipful Company of Chartered Surveyors, where I am a past master and a member of the student bursary committee, and LandAid, where I am a Patron. Both organisations hold a very close place in my heart.
