Laurence Gercke

National property consultancy Carter Jonas has strengthened its Cambridge Commercial Agency team by appointing Laurence Gercke as an Associate Partner based out of its One Station Square office.

Gercke joins from Eddisons with over ten years of experience. He has an established track record and has advised both public and private sector commercial clients on a wide range of matters across the office, industrial, retail and leisure sectors.

At Carter Jonas, he will advise on landlord and tenant instructions across the business space spectrum for clients across Cambridgeshire and the surrounding areas.

William Rooke, Head of Cambridge Commercial Agency & Investment, Carter Jonas, said: “Carter Jonas is committed to growing its presence across Cambridgeshire and recruiting the strongest talent to support our clients. Laurence’s deep-rooted knowledge of the commercial sector and our regional market make him a great addition to our growing team. Whilst our city continues to attract considerable investment, a lack of supply and ongoing demand for space is impacting activity. I look forward to working with Laurence over the coming months, advising clients on proactive strategies to harness opportunities in the office and life sciences markets, which will be his primary focus of activity.”

Laurence Gercke, Associate Partner, Commercial, Carter Jonas Cambridge, said: “Cambridge has a pivotal role within Carter Jonas’ business, and I’m excited to be joining the office here with a talented team that is more than 120 strong. I look forward to drawing on my knowledge and experience in Cambridge to drive the growth of our business further as we support our clients within in the office, labs and technology sectors.”
