Mark Evans, head of property at Royal London Asset Management Property, said: “Development is an important part of the Royal London Asset Management Property business: delivering long-term returns for our customers is at the heart of our investment strategy and developing purpose-built, future-proofed assets for occupiers across sectors is a core component of that approach.

I’m looking forward to working closely with Mark alongside Andy to seek out those opportunities as we grow the team and drive the strategy forward.”
