James Beckham to join CBRE from Cushman & Wakefield

James Beckham, Head of London Capital Markets for Cushman & Wakefield, is to join CBRE.

George Roberts, Head of London Markets, Cushman & Wakefield, said: “We thank James for his significant contribution to the firm and the part he has played in our ongoing success in London’s investment market.

“Our Capital Markets strength lies in our established global platform which gives us an unrivalled ability to source capital from across the world. Our record-breaking success in London this year, including advising on the deals for 20 Fenchurch Street, The Leadenhall Building and the Ampersand – as well as many of the capital’s current key investment sales – would not have been possible without this global network and the depth of talent across the team.

“I’m delighted to confirm Martin Lay and Richard Womack, our heads of City and West End Capital Markets, have assumed joint responsibility for managing our 25-strong London Capital Markets team. Our London business is stronger than ever and our status as advisor of choice for both investors and occupiers is evident in the most significant transactions shaping real estate in London.”
