Avison Young has appointed George Roberts as the company’s new UK and Ireland president.
Roberts, who has more than 30 years’ experience in real estate and professional services, most recently led Cushman & Wakefield’s UK and Ireland business.
He will start in his new role on 18 May and will work closely with the UK, Irish and global leadership teams at Avison Young to grow the company’s UK platform.
Mark E Rose, chair and chief executive officer of Avison Young, said: “George’s arrival as UK and Ireland president signals the start of a significant era of growth, collaboration and differentiation. His focus will be firmly on all clients, ensuring we help them make better decisions and execute them effectively. I want to take this opportunity to welcome him to Avison Young and I look forward to working closely with him and the UK leadership team.”
Roberts added: “Avison Young stands out to me as a firm that differentiates itself through its agility and focus on global insight, market intelligence and technology. There is an excellent platform to start building from, and I’m excited to leverage our global knowledge and expertise to grow here in the UK and Ireland.”
