Commercial property consultancy Knight Frank, which has a regional office in Cardiff, won the national Industrial Adviser of the Year 2017 awards at this year’s Estates Gazette Awards.
Knight Frank’s industrial agency team beat major competitors to win the award for the first time. The firm was judged to be the best in the UK by leading commercial property trade magazine Estates Gazette.
Neil Francis, who heads Knight Frank’s industrial agency team in Cardiff said: “The result reflects the strength of collaboration between the firm’s regional and London teams across both the investment and leasing sides of the industrial property business – a link that differentiates Knight Frank from its competition.”
This year has seen the Industrial team go from strength to strength, building on the record-breaking performance of 2015-16 by setting new records in 2016-17, outperforming its competitors and winning market share in key industrial locations.
In South Wales, Knight Frank has been involved in many of the region’s largest industrial transactions of recent times, including the letting of St Modwen’s new 50,000 sq ft unit in Llanwern to Amazon and the sale of the 180,000 sq ft warehouse at Trident Park, Cardiff to Welsh Government which was subsequently leased to Bad Wolf for its film and TV studio.
