Northern agent Barker Proudlove has hired Tushingham Moore director Andrew McGuiness to expand its retail and leisure agency offering.
McGuiness has spent the past 10 years at Tushingham Moore, acting for clients including Betfred, Gondola Group and Poundland.
He will work on leasing and acquisition of shopping centre and high street properties in the North.
Barker Proudlove director Richard Barker said: “Since we formed in 2010, the business has grown rapidly during an incredibly tough property market.
“The acquisition of Andrew is fantastic news for both the wider business and especially the Manchester office, which will shortly celebrate its first year anniversary following Gary Crompton’s arrival from Reid Rose Gregory in October.’’
