Newmark has bolstered its European finance team by appointing Andrew Wheldon and Matthew Bailey as managing directors.
Wheldon (pictured), who has more than two decades of experience spanning capital advisory, real estate banking, development and asset management, previously held senior roles at RBS, Lloyds Banking Group and CBRE Capital Advisors, where he led residential debt advisory. He later founded the UK arm of a pan-European capital advisory firm.
Bailey has led the origination, structuring and execution of major structured real estate bond transactions across Europe and previously held senior roles at UBS, Commerzbank, HSBC Investment Bank and SitusAMC.
Michael Lehrman, president of UK and Europe at Newmark, said: “Newmark’s continued investment in debt and structured finance is a cornerstone of our global capital markets strategy. Expanding this capability in Europe enables us to unlock cross-border capital flows, create deeper connectivity for our clients and deliver advisory solutions that match the sophistication of global capital markets today.”
Matthew Featherstone, head of debt and structured finance, UK and Europe at Newmark, added: “Andrew and Matthew’s specialist expertise in the living sector and structured finance significantly enhances our ability to advise on complex transactions and deliver innovative financing solutions for clients. Their experience strengthens our market position and deepens the bench of senior talent driving our growth across Europe.”
