We have completed one of the largest public to private deals in the quoted property sector, been part of the purchasing group for two of the UK's largest science parks and delivered to investors returns well above IPD. I am delighted that we have managed to persuade one of the industry’s most senior fund managers and a long standing friend of the business to join us at this exciting time.”

I believe that my experience gained at the Townsend Group, one of the world’s most influential real estate advisors, together with my experience at ING, at the time the largest real estate manager in the world, will be beneficial in helping guide Palmer Capital in the provision of real estate solutions for a wide range of international investors.”
