MIPIM 2012: DTZ is looking to appoint 60 directors are it seeks to grow the business over the next 12 to 18 months.
“We are looking at the client-facing business and increasing the number of directors by 10%,” said John Forrester, who was confirmed as chief executive of DTZ’s Europe, Middle East and Africa business this week.
The focus will be on transactional markets, as the business looks to “fix” areas which lost staff during an uncertain 2011. “We have got to get match fit in certain areas,” said Forrester. “Everyone is looking forward to a period of strong stability.”
The business is expected to continue under the DTZ banner despite its acquisition last year by UGL.
Forrester said he saw particular opportunities in debt restructuring work and in European retail markets.
