Brandon and Graham will lead our retail agency leasing business and I look forward to them growing the team."

Explaining their decision to move from Cushman & Wakefield, Graham Smith said: "The firm's investment in retail combined with their robust tenant representation business will complement our core agency business very well and we look forward to the enhanced value we will be able to offer our clients.”
