Global real estate advisor CBRE has established a new hotels and alternatives offering in Scotland.
It has hired hotel specialist Jonathan Mitchell who joins the hotels team as an associate director alongside experienced valuations expert Kathryn Bennett, who is taking on a new role focusing on the alternatives market, which covers sectors including student halls and care homes.
CBRE Scotland’s Hotels and Alternatives offering will concentrate on hotels, leisure, healthcare and student accommodation, and will be supported by over 200 specialist professionals across Europe who are dedicated to the fast-growing sectors.
Associate director Ms Bennett has worked at CBRE for five years and was previously in the valuation team. She will continue to be based in the Glasgow office, working closely with the national and London teams to grow the alternatives practice.
Mr Mitchell joins the firm from Lambert Smith Hampton, where he advised a diverse mix of clients, from institutional banks through to private individuals across the hotel and leisure industries.
He will be based in the firm’s Edinburgh office.
Miller Mathieson, executive director of CBRE in Scotland, added: “We are delighted to bring our Hotel and Alternatives practice to clients in Scotland, particularly with two outstanding professionals. Jonathan and Kathryn, working closely together and with our wider CBRE network, will provide an integrated service in Scotland and across the UK.”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
