Bruce Gillingham Pollard appoints associate director to investment team

Retail and leisure consultancy Bruce Gillingham Pollard (BGP) has appointed Ollie Wilkinson as an associate director to its investment team.

He joins from Knight Frank where he worked in the capital advisory team raising debt and equity for clients across a range of property sectors.

Prior to this, he held investment roles at Watkin Jones and Cushman & Wakefield’s business space and retail investment teams.

BGP said that over the course of his career, Wilkinson has built up a varied client base, developed a highly technical skillset, and has a strong track record in transaction management.

Head of the BGP investment team, Jack Barratt, said: “Ollie brings a depth of understanding of client requirements having most recently been in the Capital Advisory team at Knight Frank, and the ability to consider investors’ perception of the market when negotiating the ever-changing capital markets landscape.”

Ollie Wilkinson added: “BGP continues to go from strength to strength advising both domestic and international capital, and I am looking forward to joining and assisting the teams as it moves into its next phase as a business. The wider macroeconomic environment certainly poses some challenges but with it comes opportunity, particularly from an asset management perspective.”
