The wider debt and capital advisory business provides borrower side debt advisory and treasury services to corporates, infrastructure, private equity and privately owned companies.
Skinner, Deloitte partner and head of DCA, said: “Having someone of Chris Holmes’ standing and experience to head our new real estate debt advisory business is a great coup, particularly given the strength of crossover with Deloitte’s real estate division and other service lines.
“Chris’s appointment and the launch of our new real estate vertical underlines our ambition to grow and enhance our market-leading position.”
Holmes said: “Within debt advisory so many issues are converging, driving capital demands to real estate. As the sources of lender capital continue to evolve, the need for professional and timely advice on navigating debt markets has never been stronger.
“Offering clients this service through Deloitte’s leading DCA business is a strong statement of intent to expand in this field.”
