Knight Frank has appointed Nick Blevins from Cushman & Wakefield as the company’s new head of life sciences and innovation agency.
Blevins, who was a partner at Cushman & Wakefield, was appointed head of life science occupier representation in 2021, with a specific focus on Cambridge and the Golden Triangle markets.
At Knight Frank, he replaces Emma Goodford, who is leaving the business in spring next year.
Stephen Clifton, head of commercial at Knight Frank, said: “Nick’s proven track-record will be instrumental in the next stage of our life sciences and innovation team’s growth as a leading advisor for occupiers, landlords and investors in the Golden Triangle. We look forward to leveraging his expertise in an exciting global market, where a deep understanding of occupier trends and future requirements is essential.”
Blevins added: “I’m looking forward to joining the Knight Frank team, which benefits from fantastic talent and impressive sector and research expertise. Our expanded presence in the Golden Triangle positions us well to access the growing network of science and tech occupiers basing themselves in the region, as well as the developers and investors looking to provide the critical real estate required to support science and innovation businesses as they evolve.”
