Montagu Evans has strengthened its Central London markets presence with two new partner appointments in the firm’s valuation, asset and investment advisory team.
Peter Jacob has joined the firm from BNP Paribas Real Estate where he has served as head of its London valuation advisory team since 2018, and Christian Glazier, who has 15 years of valuation experience, has also joined Montagu Evans from BNP Paribas Real Estate.
Kevin White, partner at Montagu Evans and head of its valuation, asset and investment team, said: “These new partner appointments reflect our focus on growth and attracting top talent, particularly within the partnership’s key conviction areas. They will significantly increase our valuation capability with a focus on Central London, complementing the firm’s expertise across this important market in planning, historic environments and townscape, business rates, development, economics and viability, underpinned by strategic insight. Further appointments are planned as the team continues to recruit in our key markets.”
Jacob added: “There is a real opportunity here to build a formidable valuation business, particularly in secured lending and focused on Central London. Offering clients greater cross-service and cross-sector expertise will help unlock many of the challenges they are facing a result of the current economic position and continuing evolution of the lending market.”
Glazier said: “Montagu Evans has a clear ambition for growth and a strategy to support it, which makes this a very exciting time to be joining the firm. This strengthened valuation, asset and investment advisory offer will balance efficient operations with high level insight and deep-rooted sector knowledge, grounded in some of the capital’s most important markets.”
