Watkin Jones has hired Avison Young director Simon Lowe as its investment director.
Lowe (pictured) was a director at Avison Young for two years, before which he was head of acquisitions at the Mansion Group and spent more than a decade as associate director at Cushman & Wakefield.
Lowe said: “Watkin Jones has an unrivalled reputation for being at the cutting edge in bringing forward sites, which makes this a very exciting prospect when working with agents and landowners. I’m also joining a team with some of the brightest minds in the market across investment, development and planning, with the chance to lean on the expertise that Watkin Jones gets from its construction teams and operations through [accommodation management division] Fresh.”
