Lunson Mitchenall beefs up senior team with promotions

Niche retail and leisure agent Lunson Mitchenall has made two promotions in its lease advisory and investment departments, as it looks to bolster its senior team. Nick Klein has been appointed as an equity director, after six years as director in the lease advisory team. Lunson Mitchenall said the promotion reflected his “significant contributions” to business growth, having transacted on more than 300 deals last year. The agent added that Klein has developed the business with new client mandates from M&G, abrdn, British Land, Legal & General, Global Mutual, Sovereign Centros, NewRiver and Boots in recent years. The agent has also appointed Chris Watt as director within the investment team. Watt has worked at Lunson Mitchenall for six years. Watt pointed to a “myriad of opportunities” across the retail and leisure investment market, adding that the sector is “dynamic and fast-changing”. The news comes after longstanding equity directors Neil Hockin and John Griffin were appointed as joint managing directors in November last year. The agent has also taken on four graduates in the past year as well as an associate director.
