Nigel Brown, Managing Director, St Martins, said: "We have a major programme of expansion planned for our European portfolio over the next five years and are therefore keen to concentrate our efforts on researching new markets and acquiring assets. CBRE's appointment will enable us to focus on seeking opportunities to increase our portfolio and as we have worked successfully in this way with CBRE in the UK it makes sense to extend their remit to our French portfolio."
St Martins' 18-strong property management team in France have transferred to join the CBRE team. The CBRE team will be led by Richard Wrigley.
