Cushman & Wakefield has appointed Jonathan O’Regan from JLL as head of West End capital markets.
O’Regan, who will join Cushman & Wakefield in Q4 2026, has spent the last five years as a director in JLL’s London capital markets team and prior to that he spent 11 years at Savills and five years at Avison Young.
He will succeed Richard Womack as the firm’s West End investment lead, with Womack moving into a new leadership role as head of capital and strategic partnerships.
Chris Bennett, head of London offices capital markets at Cushman & Wakefield, said: “Jonathan is a strategic hire whose market presence and dealmaking expertise reflects his dynamism, deep experience, and global network. His track record in the core West End markets of W1 and SW1 speaks for itself, while his client base spanning private equity, institutional capital, and ultra high net worth and family office capital is highly complementary to our own. His appointment is excellent news for our clients and contributes to our momentum in capital markets following significant investment across our global business.”
Bennett added: “Richard’s new role will increase his focus on strategic client relationships and maximises his exceptional ability to unlock complex transactions. Both he, and Jonathan when he joins, contribute to an incredibly strong leadership team, backed by our global capital markets platform and unrivalled occupier insight, which gives our clients a competitive advantage.”
