CBRE shuffles Northern leadership team

CBRE has made changes to its Northern leadership team in a move to drive the business forward. John Ogden has been named as head of UK regional markets. The move follows Colin Thomasson’s recent appointment as head of UK investment properties.  Ogden will continue to have an active role in overseeing the Northern region but will take on greater responsibility across CBRE’s wider regional UK business, with overall responsibility for Scotland, the North, the Midlands & South, and all the sectors and service lines in these locations.  Joe Rigby has been promoted to replace Ogden as managing director of the North, overseeing the Manchester, Liverpool and Leeds offices. Rigby, who joined CBRE in 2014, has most recently held the role of head of office agency for the North. Ogden said: “It’s more important than ever that we are delivering a cohesive and integrated offering to our clients, across all our service lines and sectors.”
