Colliers announce formation of ANZ Large Format Retail Leasing Team

Colliers has made the move to set up a new national team catering to surging opportunity in the sector.

The Colliers National LFR team will be led by Head of Retail, Australia Michael Bate and National Director, New Zealand Leroy Wolland, who will work with the dedicated LFR experts in every state market.

“By further bolstering this provision of specialists we intend to meet the growing demand in the large format market to cater to the pipeline of projects within the Colliers portfolio” Mr Dever said.

The Australian based team consists of Marcus Allchin, Jared Watchers, Harry Dever, Will Goldsworthy, Nathan Brown, Jake Beckwith and Hadley Missell.

The New Zealand team will be headed up by Mr Wolland, who will be supported by Nick Doig and James Petherick.

Nathan Brown and Jake Beckwith have recently been appointed as Managers of Large Format Retail Leasing.

Adam Lester, Colliers Victorian Director of Retail Leasing, said Mr Brown and Mr Beckwith would form an integral part of Colliers’ growing retail team in Victoria, collaborating with colleagues across the business and across states to expand the company’s Large Format Retail expertise.

“We are eager to have both Nathan and Jake join our market-leading team of retail experts and further strengthen our capabilities in retail.”

High levels of consumer confidence and an increase in the time consumers spend at home due to extended covid lockdowns has seen a large increase in demand for the sector.
