The news comes after Newmark, then under the name of Gerald Eve, announced four senior hires for its Birmingham office, which included Adrian Griffith and George Jennings joining from Avison Young’s national office agency teams.
The other two recruits were Matt Jenns and Richard Fletcher-Brewer, who joined the firm’s Midlands Capital Markets team from Savills.
Simon Prichard, senior partner at Newmark, said: “Building on our momentum of recent hires of Adrian, George and Matt and Richard in Capital Markets, we are thrilled to welcome Charles to Newmark. His deep expertise and impressive track record in office agency and development consultancy underscore our continued prominence in the market and our ability to attract top talent, reinforcing our position as a leader in the UK office sector.”
