“We are delighted to welcome Declan on board at what is – despite COVID-19 – a very busy time for our business. Although Declan won’t be physically joining the team until restrictions on movement are lifted, he will, like the rest of us, work remotely – helping us to complete active transactions and drive new business development.”

Mr Sexton commented:

“I am looking forward to starting the next chapter of my career with Savills and look forward to the challenge ahead.”
