Cushman appoints life sciences lease advisory partner

Cushman & Wakefield has appointed Rupert Bridgman as partner to its UK lease advisory team to focus on the offices and life sciences sectors. Bridgman joins from Knight Frank, where has spent the past seven years advising clients across Thames Valley, the Oxford-Cambridge Arc and Greater London boroughs. The move comes shortly after Knight Frank snapped up Nicholas Blevins from Cushman to head its life sciences team.  At Cushman, Bridgman will provide strategic advice to both investors and occupiers across the offices and life sciences sectors.  Gino D’Anna, head of lease advisory at Cushman, said: “[Bridgman] has an exceptional reputation in the industry and has the skills and capabilities to provide advice to clients across the offices and life sciences sectors. Our lease advisory offer combines the best market intelligence with an extensive understanding across the sectors. He will be a valuable addition to the team.” Image from Cushman & Wakefield
