CBRE’s John Ogden is now responsible for all UK regional markets and Joe Rigby has been promoted to managing director of the North following a strategic reshuffle at the company.
Ogden will be based in Manchester and will continue to have an active role overseeing the Northern region, but will also take on greater responsibility across CBRE’s wider regional UK business, with overall responsibility for Scotland, the North and the Midlands and South.
Rigby (pictured), who joined CBRE in 2014 and was promoted to head of office agency for the North in 2022, will now transition to his new managing director of the North role.
Ogden said: “Joe is regarded as a market leader by clients, as well as the wider industry across the North, so he is well-placed to step up and drive the growth of our Northern business going forward. Simultaneously, it’s more important than ever that we are delivering a cohesive and integrated offering to our clients, across all our service lines and sectors.
“I look forward to continuing to work with Joe, as well as with all the teams across CBRE’s wider regional business, to deliver best-in-class, holistic solutions for our clients.”
