Montagu Evans adds to logistics team with new partner

Montagu Evans has appointed lease advisory specialist Amy Bracey as a partner in its industrial and logistics team. Bracey joins from Colliers where she was a director in its business space lease advisory team. She has more than 14 years’ experience in the logistics sector. At Montagu Evans she will work with partner Steve McDonald to run what the agent said is the largest retained instruction base for lease advisory in the country, acting for institutional landlords on more than 200 trade parks nationally and with a range of instructions in most cities and towns. In addition to working with existing Montagu Evans clients, Bracey’s remit will include securing new instructions, particularly with the partnership’s clients in other areas and in her home patch of the South West. McDonald said: “This is a further strategic appointment for the partnership as we put in place ambitious growth plans, supported by a strong team of specialists at all levels. It has been a rare opportunity to recruit such an experienced candidate at the top of the trade market, who also perfectly fits our firm-wide ethos of growing organically long-term via the next generation of talent with the ready-made qualities of an APC assessor, chair, mentor and teacher. Amy is a very welcome addition to the business.” Bracey added: “Having known the firm, and having had the chance to see its team at work first-hand through my APC role, this step to partner is a natural progression. It is an exciting time to join the business – the I&L team is already very well-respected in the market and its lease advisory team is second to none in this area.”
