CBRE has bolstered its UK debt and structured finance (D&SF) team with two new hires and a promotion.
George Peake and Joshua Mailling have been appointed as directors and Stephen Barr has been promoted to head of UK debt and structured finance.
Peake joins CBRE from Barclays, where he spent nearly six years advising clients on real estate finance transactions and capital solutions, and Mailling joins from OakNorth, where he spent almost seven years in the bank’s debt finance team.
Barr has been part of the UK D&SF leadership group since joining CBRE in 2020 and over the past few years he has advised on acquisition, refinancing and restructuring mandates across all sectors, working with family offices, institutional investors and private equity clients.
Chris Gow, head of debt and structured finance for Europe at CBRE, said: “The debt market continues to evolve rapidly, creating both challenges and opportunities for our clients. George and Joshua bring strong lending and capital markets experience, while Stephen’s promotion reflects his contribution to the growth of our business over many years. Together, they further strengthen our ability to provide best-in-class advice and financing solutions to clients across the region.”
