Knight Frank has appointed regeneration and infrastructure specialist Richard Dixon to lead its public sector advisory team.
Dixon, who has more than 25 years’ experience partnering with government, investors, developers and institutional capital providers, previously served on the executive board of Morgan Sindall Investments, leading investment strategy, commercial leadership and capital allocation across a portfolio of nationally significant projects and programmes.
In his new role, Dixon will lead the public sector advisory team, working with local authorities, blue light organisations, central government departments, NHS organisations, investors and delivery partners to develop commercially robust strategies that enhance public sector estates, unlock investment and maximise long-term value for communities.
Charlie Hart, partner at Knight Frank and head of development land, said: “Richard’s experience sits at the intersection of public policy, investment, regeneration and delivery, making him uniquely placed to help our clients navigate increasingly complex development and infrastructure challenges. With Richard at the helm, we are bringing together a market leading, multidisciplinary team that offers clients deep public sector expertise coupled with Knight Frank’s extensive property, development, investment and regeneration capabilities.”
Dixon added: “At a time when public sector organisations are under increasing pressure to do more with less, the role of property and place in securing better outcomes has never been more important. In my new role, I am committed to helping Knight Frank’s clients unlock investment and optimise their estates to deliver regeneration and infrastructure with lasting economic and social value.”
