It is a great privilege for me to be the Chief Executive Officer of Cushman & Wakefield in Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Across the region Cushman & Wakefield employs around 5,000 people in 51 countries and we have 140 offices. This breadth and depth across the region positions us perfectly to advise clients on their property needs. Our focus is to deliver a comprehensive service to clients wherever they need it based on high calibre teams with in depth market knowledge to enable assessments of the risks and opportunities within client portfolios. Of equal importance and a high priority for me personally is to ensure that our talented staff around the region have an opportunity to develop their careers in a fulfilling and supportive environment. We always strive to develop and encourage a diverse and inclusive workplace that enables our people to benefit from the rich and varied opportunities presented by a career at Cushman & Wakefield. If you would like to discuss a property challenge or if you believe a career at Cushman & Wakefield could be of interest to you then I would be delighted to speak further.
