Lambert Smith Hampton (LSH) has poached Canary Wharf’s former head of leasing, Rob Riley, to head its City office.
Last year, LSH chief executive Chris Boulton brought in Archie Cowan – former head of West End agency at Knight Frank – as head of its London division.
Cowan has been charged with increasing LSH’s presence in London and Riley is the latest in a number of appointments he has made.
In September Cowan made six appointments to bolster London work, including CB Richard Ellis investment specialist Stephen Benson as a director and former Smith Melzack Pepper Angliss director David Earle.
Riley had been acting head of leasing at Canary on secondment from CB Richard Ellis until last year, after Mike Hussey left the role to become a director in Land Securities’ development arm in 2001.
