Newmark Group has appointed Jonathan Godfrey as head of valuation in the UK.
Godfrey, who has more than 15 years of valuation experience, joins Newmark from Gerald Eve where he was a partner and led the company’s residential valuation business. Prior to that, he worked for Cushman & Wakefield and Hamptons International.
He is taking on the role from Richard Moir, who will retain responsibility and focus on developing Newmark’s UK operational real estate valuation, advisory and transactional services.
Godfrey said: “This is a very exciting time for Newmark in the UK, advancing its brand presence. Talented individuals are joining us across sectors and service lines as we grow rapidly. Our sector-based valuation teams, strengthened with best-in-class valuers, ensure we consistently deliver quality, specialist valuation advice as our client base expands globally. Our greatest asset is our people, and we continue our growth journey actively adding top talent in the valuation space.”
John Busi, president of valuation and advisory at Newmark, added: “I’m proud of our unique valuation and advisory asset class sector specialisation at Newmark, which stands apart within the industry. With offices in almost every country in the Americas, and now in the UK and Singapore, we continue to expand our strategic coverage of our global clients.
“I’m excited to work with Jonathan as he leads our UK practice helping to further expand our specialty practices and further strengthen our position as the premier firm in the market.”
