GCW has announced the appointment of James Waldock as equity partner.
This promotion comes 18 months after Waldock joined the retail property consultancy, after more than 20 years at JLL where he was a senior director in the retail capital market division.
Oli Horton, partner in GCW’s investment team, said: “We’re very excited to welcome James into the partnership. James has brought a wealth of knowledge and transactional experience that has elevated GCW and the team’s ability to provide tailored solutions for clients.”
James Waldock added: “After a successful and enjoyable 18 months, I’m delighted to join the partnership at what is an exciting time and period of growth for the business.
“The retail investment market is witnessing a notable shift in sentiment and continues to gain momentum. The nature and scale of shopping centre investment and retail investment as a whole has changed and continues to evolve. Our collaborative approach of combining leasing and investment expertise continues to deliver best in class advice to clients.”
The GCW investment team has advised on six shopping centre transactions in 2025 including Praxis Group’s purchase of Glasgow St Enoch.
