Newmark has appointed John Corlett to the role of head of UK and European retail agency.
Corlett (pictured), who previously led the firm’s International agency department, will report into David Harper, managing partner – head of UK retail.
Corlett’s appointment follows the retirement of industry stalwart Andrew Bathurst in December. Bathurst previously led Newmark’s UK retail agency business.
Corlett said: “I am honoured to take on this role at such an exciting moment in Newmark’s growth story. My priority is to build on the exceptional service our business is known for and to support collaboration across the company as we continue to expand. Our reputation for trusted, tenant-focused advice remains unchanged, and I am excited for our future ahead, led by innovation and digital transformation. We will continue to put our clients first and maintain our focus on delivering industry-leading advisory services.”
Harper added: “This marks a new era for Newmark‘s Retail business across the UK and Europe. We are deeply grateful to Andrew and the legacy he leaves behind, and excited for a new chapter under John’s energetic stewardship. He is a champion of entrepreneurship, one of the hallmarks of Newmark’s operation, and also a great nurturer of talent. John’s appointment reflects both the strength of our homegrown talent and our confidence in the business’ future. His international expertise, strategic mindset and deep understanding of the retail landscape make him the ideal leader to help us accelerate into our next chapter.”
