Associate Partner

In late 2008, I felt the UK was ready for a different kind of professional real estate advisory business. One that was tenant rather than landlord focused. In January 2009, I co-founded Tenant Advisory Group (‘TAG’). To this day, we remain one of the only firms of Chartered Surveyors in the UK to exclusively represent the consumer of commercial property namely, the Tenant and occasionally, the owner occupier.

Our clients are diverse in terms of scale and sector. We act for start-ups through to international household names. Traditionally, our focus has been the TMT, financial and professional services sectors. However, more recently we have been retained by an increasing number of manufacturing and logistics operators.

We provide a very similar range of surveying services to occupiers as the large national and even international firms of advisers that you will be familiar with. 

However, what makes us different is our exclusive consumer focus. This enables us to deliver our services free of the conflicts of interest that often plague other advisers which tend to represent predominately landlord's interests.

Our firm is privately owned, RICS regulated and fully insured. We operate throughout the UK from our Manchester base. 

Why Tenant Advisory Group?

The answer is simple. Because we believe we can minimise your property costs more effectively than any other property adviser because we are conflict free.

Most surveying firms in the UK have a vested interest in rents and capital values rising. 

TAG is different because it acts exclusively for end users who, quite naturally, desire a different outcome. 

In short, we can help you achieve results that you would not be able to achieve either by yourself or by appointing any other property consultant.

Our advisers are experienced property professionals used to operating at Executive Board level.

My Background

I qualified as a Chartered Surveyor in 1991 and have specialised mainly in the office sector ever since. My professional experience includes data analytics, occupation and investment strategy, property sourcing, technical due diligence, heads of terms, lease and sales contract negotiation, asset management, debt and equity origination. 

I have been extremely fortunate to have worked for some of the industry's leading advisory and investment firms and to have been based in a number of exciting cities including London, Hong Kong, Shanghai and now Manchester.
