CBRE has made three senior retail appointments, including Cushman & Wakefield’s Martin Supple, as it seeks to expand its out-of-town team.
The agent has also hired Supple’s C&W colleague Russell Homer and Drew Moore from JLL.
Supple (pictured) will join the firm as an executive director and head of out-of-town retail. He has spent the past 13 years leading C&W’s UK out-of-town team, and most recently was joint head of EMEA out-of-town retail.
Supple’s client network has included major retailers and landlords such as B&Q, Morrisons, Ikea, Landsec and ASI.
Homer will join CBRE as a senior director, to drive growth in the out-of-town retail business. He worked at C&W for eight years, specialising in retail park asset management. His clients have included Threadneedle, Landsec and Aviva.
Moore has been appointed as an executive director in CBRE’s UK retail investment team. A former equity partner at Wilkinson Williams, Moore has worked at JLL since 2020. He has more than 25 years’ experience in retail investment and development and has worked on some of the largest retail warehousing deals, with clients such as Pillar, LIM, BL and Delancey.
Rhodri Davies, head of UK retail at CBRE, said: “The retail warehousing sector has shown its resilience to the changing retail landscape, with strong market performance and increased interest from a wide range of investors.
“As a result, there has been a high level of activity in recent months, something we expect to continue throughout the remainder of 2022 and beyond. Bringing this group of high-calibre individuals together, who have cemented fantastic relationships with both investors and occupiers, is what our clients expect from us at CBRE.
“We are extremely excited about what the future holds for the retail sector and what these individuals can add to both the business and our clients.”
