16th June 2025 | Jack Oliver

GCW has strengthened its occupier advisory division with the appointment of Bobby Share as a surveyor, and has promoted Chris Kenealy to the role of associate director within its owner team.

Share will work with GCW’s managing partner Simon Morris on the firm’s portfolio of occupier clients. He joins from Safestore, where he handled property acquisitions and development. He has also previously worked in Morrisons’ property team.

Meanwhile Chris Kenealy – who joined GCW in 2022 – will continue to provide leasing advice on numerous shopping centres and high street assets for key clients including CBRE Investment Management and NewRiver.

Simon Morris, managing partner of GCW said: “Alongside acquisition projects, our occupier advice is focused on how our clients can extract maximum value from their portfolios in relation to their customer base.  Bobby’s in-house occupier experience will be a great addition to our team.”

Nick Warr, partner within GCW’s owner team, added: “We take great pride in fostering growth within our team and are pleased to recognise Chris’s significant contribution to our business through this promotion.”
