GBR Phoenix Beard has announced that Richard Fletcher-Brewer has rejoined its team as an Associate Director in a newly created position based in London. ‘Fletch,’ as he is widely known, will work alongside Investment Agency Director Steve Benson and Tom Edgar to enhance the firm’s capital markets offering. A significant proportion of GBR Phoenix Beard’s transactional activity originates in London and the new role will give the firm an increased profile. GBR Phoenix Beard’s London office in Cavendish Square already employs around 15 people but has historically focused on the retained asset management and building surveying aspects of the business.
Talking about the news, Steve Benson said:
“I couldn’t be more excited to welcome Fletch back to GBR Phoenix Beard. This appointment will accelerate the ambitious plans we have for an increased presence in London – Fletch’s intricate understanding of the Midlands property market, our brand and already strong reputation within our client base puts us in a great position to benefit from the opportunities presented by the upturn in investment activity in the UK.”
Richard Fletcher-Brewer added:
“I am very much looking forward to working with Steve and the team, and developing my career in the investment agency market, especially at a time when the market is buoyant. I am particularly attracted by returning to an independent property consultancy and making a real difference to our business.”
Richard Fletcher-Brewer originally worked in the commercial markets team for GBR/GBR Phoenix Beard from 2010, leaving in September 2013 to take up a role in Hong Kong with Jones Lang LaSalle. He has returned to the UK following 12 months overseas.
