Colliers grows Manchester office with LSH hire

Colliers has recruited Jonathan Cook to its national offices team in Manchester. In his new role as a director, Cook will be tasked to provide leasing and tenant mix advice and guidance to the North West’s occupiers and landlords. Cook joins after a short term at LSH where he had moved earlier this year and was tasked with growing the agency’s presence across the North West. Prior to that, he spent almost a decade at CBRE, gaining experience in the Manchester office market, where he worked with North West landlord and occupier clients including CBRE IM, Boultbee Brooks, APAM, M&G, Clearbell, Aviva, Credit Suisse, Helical, Orchard Street Investment Management, Peel, Orbit Developments, Bruntwood, Ask Real Estate, Property Alliance Group, NFU Mutual and Deka. Cook said: “The office landscape is changing but activity levels remain high, with occupiers realising the true value of collaborative and cohesive space, and I am joining Colliers at a time of growth.” Additionally, Ella Millington is joining Colliers’ national offices team in Manchester as a graduate surveyor. Dominic Pozzoni, head of Colliers’ Manchester office and director in Colliers’ national offices team, said: “Jonathan’s impressive client network and extensive industry knowledge and experience will make him an invaluable addition to our team and will ensure that we continue to provide a best-in-class service and drive real value for our clients across the North West. “Ella’s addition also underlines our focus on growth and innovation through nurturing emerging talent.”
