Tony Edgley, partner at Brockton Capital, is to leave the business next year after seven years with the firm.
He will remain at Brockton for another year to 18 months, most likely leaving in the first quarter of 2018, but the exact timing will be determined by the progress and milestones of
projects he is involved with.
Edgley, 60, has no plans to retire and will consider only new opportunities towards the end of the year, potentially a new full-time role or a series of roles with different companies.
When Brockton was founded by David Marks and Jason Blank in 2005, Edgley was appointed as non-executive chairman before joining full-time as one of the firm’s five partners in 2011.
Prior to this Edgley spent more than 30 years at JLL, becoming one of the most respected advisers in Europe. His last 13 years at JLL were spent as managing director of the corporate finance division.
The Brockton team includes 37 professionals spread across investment, development and finance. It is currently investing its Brockton Capital Fund III, for which it held a final close last February with equity commitments of more than £860m.
The UK-focused fund’s investments include its co-working office business Fora. Its first site has opened at 71 Central Street in Clerkenwell, EC1, and Brockton recently bought Folgate Court in Spitalfields, E1, from DTZ Investors for £24.5m and Eastgate House on Eastcastle Street, W1, for around £20m from Hermes Property Unit Trust for the business to occupy.
