Knight Frank has appointed James Fairweather as a Salaried Partner, to join the Central London Tenant Representation team.
James joins from Bilfinger GVA where he was a Director and will focus on advising occupiers in the dynamic Central London market. James, who will be based in the West End office, brings with him a depth of experience, knowledge and track record specifically with niche financial, hedge funds and private equity tenants that dominate the core markets of Mayfair and St James’s.
His arrival enhances Knight Frank’s continued focus on expanding the wider occupier business, particularly in Central London. This follows the headline appointment of Richard Proctor, to lead the Central London Tenant Rep team, and the recent launch of the new tech team with the arrival of specialist James Nicholson, to work with Sebastian Abigail. This now brings the Central London occupier team to a total of 14. The global focus has also been reinforced with the formation of an EMEA Tenant Rep team, headed by Emma Goodford, and Colin Fitzgerald’s return to London to focus on building yet further the Newmark Grubb Knight Frank partnership.
Richard Proctor, Head of Knight Frank’s Central London Tenant Rep team, commented; “We are thrilled that James, a leading light in the West End occupier market, is joining our Central London Tenant Representation team. When I joined to head up this team 12 months ago, we identified a number of things we wished to achieve to drive our Central London business forwards. Bolstering our West End team under the leadership of Julian Woolgar was a key aim and to have secured James is fantastic news. We have a uniquely experienced and specialist offering for our occupier clients across Central London and James enhances this yet further.”
