  • Coordinate all marketing techniques on your behalf.
  • Arrange and undertake all inspections with prospective tenants.
  • Negotiate the terms of your new lease using our comprehensive market knowledge and tenacious negotiating ability.

    I'm an Equity Partner at Levy Real Estate and also Head of the firm’s Retail Leasing team.

    We specialise in finding the best brands and operators for shop, restaurant, bar and café property across Central London, and most recently have let space to the Danish fashion brand, Ganni; the Swiss eyewear retailer Viu; and the French restaurant, Folie, part of the Hotel Costes group.

    We have a particular specialism in the St James’s, Mayfair, Soho and West London markets, and our client base encompasses landlords who own a wide range of property across the capital.

    Away from the office I like to ski, play tennis, and do triathlons.

    I work as an associate in our Retail Leasing & Development team. Prior to moving to Levy in 2017, I worked at Savills and Orme Retail. I studied for a Masters in Real Estate at the University of Reading.

    My expertise and enjoyment of my job lies in advising landlords on their retail and leisure strategy for both their agency and investments. Key projects that I am working on include the placemaking of Villiers Street for DTZ Investors, Regeneration of Queensway for Bourne Capital and redevelopment of Golden Square for Titan Investments.

    Despite a nasty fall on the Prudential Ride 100, I found a new hobby in cycling. Other interests include skiing, tennis and anything involving seeing friends.
