Colliers UK names new CEO
Colliers UK has named John Munday as its new CEO, effective from 3rd March 2025.
In his new position, Munday will set the direction of the transactional and advisory services business, which has over 1,000 employees.
Munday joined Colliers in 2022 as co-head of project and building consultancy following the establishment of a strategic partnership with Paragon, an independent building and project consultancy, where he was previously co-managing director.
Davoud Amel-Azizpour, CEO of Colliers EMEA, said: “John has an impressive track record of creating successful businesses and leading large teams that have the ability to respond to client needs and market dynamics. I look forward to seeing him imprint his vision to further enhance our UK business and extensive organisation of real estate experts.”
Munday will succeed Tony Horrell who has been chief executive of Colliers’ UK business for the last 14 years. Horrell announced his decision to step down in June, and will remain with the company as a non-executive director.
Tony Horrell said: “Since joining Colliers, John has proved to be an enterprising, connected, and results-driven leader who has accelerated our UK project management and asset enhancement services for investor, owner and occupier clients alike. John and I share a similar work ethic, and I hand over the reins confident that he possesses the right values, business acumen and instincts to lead our geographically diverse and balanced business into a new era of growth. I am pleased to be remaining in the UK and Ireland business as non-executive chairman and look forward to nurturing the deeply invested client relationships I have helped to build over the past 14 years and to continuing to support the business in providing exceptional results for our clients.”
John Munday added: “I am immensely proud to be appointed the new CEO of Colliers UK.
“Since joining Colliers in 2022, I have been able to see first-hand, the company’s ambitious goal to build a robust and resilient business that is well-positioned for the future. Colliers holds a unique position in the market, and I step into this new role with a passion and commitment to further enhance this proposition with innovative solutions that generate meaningful opportunities for our clients and our people. I am raring to go and looking forward to the journey ahead.”
