Cushman & Wakefield has strengthened its national retail team by hiring Mike Bumford from Knight Frank as a partner.
Bumford was an associate partner in Knight Frank’s national retail agency team, where he advised landlord clients on retail schemes across the UK and acquired space for national occupiers. Prior to that, he worked for Rapleys.
In his new role, he will primarily focus on leasing shopping centres, whilst also using his expertise to advise clients on both retail parks and leisure assets.
Dominic Bouvet, head of UK retail and leisure at Cushman & Wakefield, said: “Mike brings further specialist expertise to support our clients as we continue our strategic expansion in the shopping centre and retail parks markets. We are enjoying positive momentum across the country, which has been boosted by the senior talent we’ve brought in over the last 12 months and the mandates they’ve helped us to win. Mike will be a great fit for the team and his decision to take the next step in his career with us is more good news for our clients and our wider business.”
