CBRE has strengthened its life sciences offering with the addition of John Knight and the promotion of Chris Williams.
The move follows the firm’s acquisition of Oxfordshire commercial property agency VSL and Partners earlier this year.
Knight (pictured above, left) joins as a senior director from Carter Jonas, where he headed the national investment and asset management team. Prior to that, he was a director at BNP Paribas Real Estate and an investment partner at Strutt & Parker.
Williams (right) will become head of London and the South East for life sciences after leading the firm’s South East tenant advisory team for more than 17 years. In his new role, Williams will leverage his expertise in advising life sciences occupiers, with a focus on the London and CaMKOx region.
Joanne Henderson, head of life sciences, UK and EMEA at CBRE, said: “Our broader UK life sciences advisory team is also growing at pace and now comprises more than 50 professionals who partner with the leading pharma, biotech and medtech companies to advise across all elements of their R&D, manufacturing and office portfolios.”
