Cushman & Wakefield has hired JLL director Christopher Robinson as a partner in its UK logistics and industrial capital markets team.
Robinson has more than 12 years’ investment experience across the logistics, industrial and retail sectors.
His appointment comes after Cushman & Wakefield bought consultancy Burbage Realty Partners last year to expand its UK logistics and industrial team.
In his new role, Robinson will join eight nationwide sector specialists including international partners Edward Cornwell and George Underwood. He will also work closely with colleagues in the firm’s UK retail capital markets team, led by Marcus Wood. The agent said the relationship between the two sectors is “increasingly close”, especially in the out-of-town market.
Richard Evans, head of UK logistics and industrial at Cushman & Wakefield, said: “Chris is a top performer in the market and his experience, in harness with his drive, enhances our ability to provide the standard-setting advice and insight expected by our clients. Importantly, he is also an excellent cultural fit for our team, which has a track record of advising on the UK’s most notable capital markets deals, including two major portfolio transactions this summer.”
Jon Leedham, UK divisional head of retail, logistics and industrial at Cushman & Wakefield, said: “Chris is a highly respected adviser whose experience at the intersection of the logistics and retail sectors is extremely valuable.”
