Colliers has appointed Andrew Dobson to create a new portfolio and regional capital markets team.
Andrew Dobson and John Munday
Dobson joins from BCM Real Estate, where he has been a director for the past 20 years, advising institutional investors on their portfolio acquisition and disposal strategies.
He has an extensive record in the market, including creating a joint venture with Ares on a primary health portfolio of 17 properties across the UK; spearheading the funding of two portfolios of Starbucks and Costa Coffee shops across the UK with LondonMetric; leading the purchase of a private property company for Accrue Capital; and overseeing the sale of a retail warehousing portfolio to M7 Real Estate.
His appointment comes at a time when Colliers is looking to streamline its offering for clients, bringing together asset specialists across leasing, transactional and consultancy services to provide best-in-class advice.
John Munday, Colliers’ UK chief executive, said: “This is a great time to bring someone of Andrew’s calibre into the fold. His experience in navigating multi-asset class portfolios across the UK and beyond will be invaluable to our clients as the market is showing signs of more transactional opportunities coming forward.
“We’re thrilled to have him on board, and we will in time also be looking to expand our regional capital market expertise to support this work.”
Dobson added: “This is an exciting time to join Colliers as there’s an increasing appetite from larger institutions to dispose of stock that is particularly heavy on the asset management, providing a real opportunity for investors to pick up portfolios that span the UK and add value.
“My role will be crucial in identifying the best experts across the Colliers business to advise clients on their mixed-use portfolios and to provide all-important local knowledge. Colliers has the depth and breadth of expertise to provide quality, data-driven advice, and I’m looking forward to co-ordinating that offering for our clients.”
