Lightlease helped me to understand the London property market, gave insight on sector sales densities and helped us secure a prime location within the Carnaby Estate for our London flagship. It was a pleasure to work with Tom and his team.

Lightlease steadfastly prioritise our commercial success and are not shy in providing honest feedback to help us make the right decisions. We see Steve as our partner rather than our advisor. He brings a rare combination of skills. An in depth knowledge of operating models, legal understanding and excellent commercial negotiations skills. In our experience it is very hard to find someone who understands both property and business to the degree that he does. A great listener, skilled negotiator, outstanding knowledge of the market, always available and perhaps most crucially great to work with – we cannot recommend him highly enough.

In the midst of our search for a new central London workspace, TGF put us in touch with Lightlease. They quickly presented a number of better value opportunities, in iconic locations that we had yet to find via other agencies. Shortly, this progressed into our acquisition of our Covent Garden HQ and they supported us throughout the process until we got the keys.

Having previously handled all property matters internally, Mango made an exception with Tom, who then went on to build a great team. Lightlease have been instrumental in our rapid UK expansion over the past 8 years and helped us secure very attractive and de-risked lease conditions, in locations previously thought not possible. They are great fun to work with.

Nespresso’s relationship with Lightlease is long-standing and they have played an important role in the story of our UK business. With data-driven, considered advice, Lightlease have helped us sensibly navigate our way through various property cycles, whilst maximising the efficiency of our boutique portfolio.

The knowledge and expertise that Lightlease bring, goes way beyond property. Steve understands our business so deeply that he adds value in ways that an advisor typically could not. He has been by our side right from the start when we were developing the concept and involved in everything since from site acquisitions to funding rounds. Indeed, his insight is so invaluable to us that he has served on our board for the last 3 years.

Tom and Lightlease had been the strategic partner for KIKO Milano UK for ten years prior to me joining. They have great industry knowledge and are excellent business partners, always going above and beyond the remit given and demonstrating a real commitment to the company . This was invaluable to me when I started and a key element of our expansion plan. As well as significantly growing our portfolio in the UK, Lightlease have supported our entry into Ireland and secured three iconic Dublin locations that are perfect for our brand. In summary, a great strategic collaborator, with strong business acumen and above all they bring great fun and energy to the partnership. Indeed, his insight is so invaluable to us that he has served on our board for the last 3 years.
