Rob joins from Watts, where he spent the last 16 years.  During his time there, Rob led the profitable building surveying department in London, chaired the London new business group and launched a sustainability forum.  He also sat on the Management Committee for Watts Group PLC/Watts Group Limited.

Ezra Nahome, CEO of Lambert Smith Hampton, said: “We’re continuing to strengthen and grow the business by bringing in talented individuals with an enterprising attitude.  I have no doubt that Rob will make a big impact here at Lambert Smith Hampton and that our clients will benefit from his expertise and commercial outlook.”

Rob said: “Leaving a business after 16 years is a big decision, but I knew from my first meeting with the Lambert Smith Hampton team that we would work well together.  It sounds like a cliché but I’m genuinely excited to be joining a company with so much energy and entrepreneurial spark.  They’ve got ambitious plans for the future which is exciting– and I emphasise the word ‘ambitious’ - and I’m looking forward to playing a big part in making them a reality.”
