Cushman & Wakefield has appointed James Yates as a partner to lead the capital markets team in Yorkshire and the North East.
In his new role, Yates will be responsible for advising on the acquisition and disposal of commercial investments for clients including institutions, developers, property companies and high-net-worth investors. He will be based at Cushman’s Leeds office.
Yates has spent his career to date at Avison Young, most recently as a director in the company’s capital markets team. He has advised a mix of clients on commercial property transactions across all UK market sectors, including Aviva, CBRE IM, Copley Point Capital, M7 and local authorities across the country.
Jeremy Beckett, head of national capital markets at Cushman, said: “Our capital markets team is made up of specialists with an understanding of capital sources and pricing in the market, as well as the needs of occupiers and what that means for investors throughout the country.
“James’s experience and considerable local market knowledge will complement the existing team and further strengthen our investment advisory service for clients.”
