Cushman & Wakefield has allocated the top jobs within its 165-strong London business following its acquisition by DTZ.
The appointments come after every legacy Cushman & Wakefield equity partner in the London business signed contracts which will bring their remuneration in line with the corporate structure employed by DTZ.
The London capital markets business is to be headed by James Beckham, with the City investment team led by Martin Lay, and Richard Womack in charge of the West End team.
George Roberts will lead a London-wide tenant representation team, while Andrew Parker has been appointed head of City agency and Craig Norton head of West End agency.
Richard Howard will take up a new role leading an Emerging London team.
Residential will be overseen by Candice Matthews and development will be led by Zoe Bignell.
Robert Murphy will lead a development transactions team.
The company has also confirmed that its City teams will be consolidated into DTZ’s offices at 125 Old Broad Street, EC2.
Alistair Brown has been appointed to oversee the office.
In the West End DTZ staff will move into C&W’s Portman Square, W1, location which will be overseen by Andy Tyler.
The moves will take place early in the new year.
Digby Flower (pictured), who was previously confirmed as head of London markets, said the combination of the two teams had created a London business which has transacted more than £6bn of real estate in the past two years, with instructions on 11.8m sq ft of office space to lease going into 2016.
He said: “The legacy Cushman & Wakefield London business has more than doubled over the last two years and this will more than double its size again.”
A handful of senior C&W staff have left the business since the announcement of the acquisition by DTZ, including equity partner and retail specialist Charlie Barke.
However, while the London business was widely expected to be the area of most overlap between the two companies, James Crawford remains the sole senior C&W agent to have left in the immediate aftermath of the acquisition.
