Julian Watts has rejoined Avison Young as regional managing director for Bristol and the South West.
Watts spent more than six years at Avison Young, working his way up to associate director level, before joining Knight Frank’s Bristol office in 2023.
Watts said: “I am excited to be rejoining Avison Young and leading the talented Bristol and South West team to drive new growth in a market I know well and am hugely passionate about. The region is evolving rapidly, and I’m looking forward to helping clients adapt, innovate and thrive in a market that demands more from real estate than ever before. I am energised to be returning at a time of such change and opportunity.”
Stephen Cowperthwaite, principal and managing director, regions and Liverpool at Avison Young, added: “Julian’s return is a huge boost to our regional leadership team. He brings deep market expertise, strong client relationships, and a clear vision for what occupiers and investors need in a rapidly evolving landscape. We’re delighted to welcome him back, and his understanding of the regional market and strong client relationships make him an invaluable asset as we continue to grow our presence and deliver value for clients.”
