Martin Spiers has joined the real estate advisor as an associate director and will be based in the Glasgow office. He joins from Cushman and Wakefield, where he spent the last seven years working within the business space agency team.

Martin said, “I enjoyed my time at Cushman & Wakefield but I’m thrilled to be joining CBRE, it represents an exciting new challenge for me. I am looking forward to working with new people and seeing how the office world continues to re-emerge from the pandemic.
“The role is a fantastic opportunity for me to not only further develop my skills and my career, but also to expand my knowledge and experience within a globally renowned business.”
Andy Cunningham, senior director in the Glasgow advisory and transaction services team, added, “It is always exciting to welcome new talent to CBRE who can add value to our clients. Martin is a highly respected agent in the Glasgow property market who we know extremely well from working alongside on joint instructions, while his experience working with significant investor clients on complex projects also enhances the team. We are really pleased we’ve been able to bring Martin on board.”
