Tom currently advises some of the most important & active brands in the UK retail & leisure market including Mango, Nespresso, McDonald’s, Kiko Milano, and exciting emerging brands like Twojeys, King & Tuckfield and Sculpted by Aimee, amongst others.

Tom’s varied experience at Time Retail Partners, Lunson Mitchenall and Montagu Evans has seen him advise both landlords and retailers, working with brands such as Starbucks, Sainsbury’s, Monsoon Accessorize and Jamie Oliver; as well as landlords including Hammerson, Intu, Land Securities, M&G and Standard Life Aberdeen. He firmly believes that exposure to both sides of a lease negotiation is critical to providing well-rounded advice.

He has also spent much of his career building an international partnership of like-minded, independent advisers, (not brokers), enabling him to keep his finger on the pulse of emerging brands and trends worldwide. This insight into the global market has seen Tom advise landlords both at home and abroad on emerging and international brands. Clients have included Altarea (France), Hammerson (UK) and Ivanhoe Cambridge (Canada).
