Experience
Founded by Ben Symes who has over 20 years of UK commercial real estate experience, specialising in retail. Ben has worked for global property advisors such as CBRE and JLL and qualified as a RICS Chartered Surveyor in 2002.
With the main source of work coming from existing clients and new clients primarily via referral for his reputation, Ben is very well known among property agents and landlords alike for his commitment to his clients, to ensure that they receive straightforward, high quality, independent advice, to enable the best property strategy to be formed and best sites possible to fit that strategy secured, very often on an off market basis.
Having spent over ten years in the Army Reserve in his spare time, reaching the rank of Captain in the HAC, in his spare time Ben enjoys keeping up-to-date with the bars, restaurants and jazz clubs that Central London has to offer, as well as escaping to the countryside at the weekend.
