Ryan's appointment is the next stage of the long-term strategy to grow Lambert Smith Hampton's office advisory division. He will expand the team's delivery in London and the South East and will also be using his considerable industry expertise to develop the division nationally.

Tony Fisher, Lambert Smith Hampton's head of office advisory, explains: "The LSH office division is evolving at pace, catering for the increasingly sophisticated needs of landlords and occupiers with a consultancy, rather than agency, approach. We have ambitious growth plans for our team based across the UK and I am delighted to welcome such a high-calibre industry expert as Ryan to join us as a key driver of our future success ."

Mike Thatcher, regional director for the South, adds: "Ryan will bring with him significant experience and contact with both institutional investors and key developer clients. This will assist in expanding and better connecting our platform for the benefits of our clients. With market leading research and a strong presence in key markets, these are exciting times for the LSH office division."
