Andrew Jacobs

Vered Ein-Gil
EMEA Real Estate Manager

They offer a depth of knowledge about the dynamics of local occupier markets and bring tenacity and attention to detail to negotiations. Their advice is pragmatic and tailored to understand the investment management requirements of pension fund clients.”

Richard Peacock
Fund Manager, Real Estate

“We recently appointed Campbell Gordon to advise us in relation to our Thames Valley office relocation. We had limited timescales and Campbell Gordon were able to advise and deliver the best possible commercial deal on schedule. Campbell Gordon helped us achieve a fantastic result in the form of our new 7,000 sq.ft office on Thames Valley Park. I would happily recommend their services to others.”

Terry Tedder
Regional Managing Director

“Campbell Gordon act for the College as property advisers and brokers. I have found them to be empathetic to our needs and very keen to understand our long-term vision for the College and its enabling property strategy. Accordingly, they are valuable partners. Getting the property strategy right for the College is essential and Campbell Gordon have been a key part of this. We continue to use their services and I would be happy to recommend them to others.”

Campbell Christie
CBE – Principal/CEO

“Beacontree Plaza is a great little office park, and we are not intending to redevelop any time soon. However, as a long term investor, with the site allocations affecting the planning decisions right up to 2026, we felt it was important to give ourselves the option for redevelopment if we think that is appropriate in the future. Campbell Gordon are always right on top of these things and spotted there was a window of opportunity to make our case last year. They also have a knack for seeing how to get the most out of a piece of land, so I am pleased to continue to have their advice through this process.”

Andrew Thomson
Commercial Manager

“I recently used Campbell Gordon to help us acquire a new 6,000 sq.ft office at Green Park in Reading. I found them to be professional, thorough and effective at pursuing our commercial interests. They were a great partner for us all the way through. There were several instances where they provided services above and beyond the normal scope. I wouldn’t hesitate in using their services again.”

Abe Kleinfeld
Senior Director

“We have owned this site for many years. We looked at a wide range of uses and development angles and it is really interesting that despite the ‘oven ready’ planning consents the highest bidders who would buy on an unconditional basis were industrial and storage operators. We are delighted with the work that Campbell Gordon did for us on this project. They worked with us over a long period of time to explore the value, talked to a large number of prospective buyers and ultimately secure the best deal quickly through their network of investor and developer contacts. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again on another similar project.”

Roger Williams
Principal

“Campbell Gordon are recognised as the ‘go to’ office specialists in Reading. I wanted to understand our options with this asset, ie whether to refurb for continued office use or redevelop into a residential scheme. They gave very valuable market and development advice that aided our assessment and planning strategy and I would certainly use them again if I required similar advice in the future.”

Gerald Bishop

“IQPC and our sister company WBR occupy 24,000 sq.ft of high quality offices on Wilton Road in SW1. A year ago, we had an approaching lease break option and a simultaneous rent review. We needed to protect our position and take advantage of the opportunity this presented. In essence, we had to decide whether to stay or go.

We decided to instruct Campbell Gordon because they came across as much smarter, passionate, considered, professional and ambitious, compared to other agents who looked like they’d run their race to me, and were far more casual in their approach. I was very impressed by Campbell Gordon’s knowledge and approach. I also liked the small company approach where you owned the whole process rather than aspects of the project being shipped out to less experienced staff who might not care as much.”

Joby Turner
Managing Director

“I am delighted we chose Campbell Gordon to assist with our office search.  After deciding to stay put we gave them the task of renewing our leases for out premises’ in Wokingham and Frimley on a short term basis. These are not the sort of deals Landlord’s like, so we were really pleased that they secured them for us on acceptable commercial terms. We look forward to working with the team again in the future.”

Richard Gorringe
UK Finance Director

“We were delighted to get hold of this site. We like working with Campbell Gordon, we are currently working with them on a number of other sites, mostly in West London. They have an eye for a good site, an ability to ignite dialogues with site owners and the persistence to push through and make deals happen.”

Dudley Mills
Land Development Director

“Campbell Gordon worked with Kyocera for more than three years to get us the offices we wanted. With their outstanding professionalism, stamina and market knowledge, they did a great job for us. We would certainly use Campbell Gordon again.”

Simon Essery
Head of Strategic Projects

“Campbell Gordon is a top class firm. Their ability to think laterally and solve problems proactively is extremely useful when putting together development situations. They are also persistent and conscientious, which makes them excellent agents.”

Malcolm McPhail
Managing Director

“The quality of the service Campbell Gordon provided was to an outstanding standard. They understood the objectives we proposed in regard to both a stay-put or relocation strategy. They were able to provide a detailed brief to identify the problems and solutions to enable the business to get the best possible commercial and practical terms. They took the time to understand our needs and had the persistence to see each element of the project through to a successful conclusion.”

Peter Loverdos
Chief Operating Officer

“We have worked with Campbell Gordon for over 35 years. We appointed them on this project because of their uniquely strong position in the Reading prime office market and their strong track record. This decision was entirely validated by the success of the campaign. They did a first class job in securing this tenant and we are pleased to have retained their services again as we move on to the next stage of the development with the construction of No.2 Forbury Place.”

Aaron Pope
Director – Asset Management & Leasing

“The M&G UK Residential Fund is one of the largest in the sector having committed over £800 million to date. Our in-house research identified Reading as meeting our investment criteria given its strong employment and transport connectivity. We have as an organisation worked with Campbell Gordon for a long time and knew that they would be the right partner for us to find the best opportunities in this location. They did an excellent job unearthing and identifying a number of options, and pursuing them on our behalf with great persistence. This ultimately resulted in our forward fund and purchase of Thames Quarter, which at 315 units is one of the most significant build to rent schemes in the South East of the UK. Campbell Gordon’s vigour and determination were key to achieving our commercial objectives and ultimately acquiring the interest. We remain highly acquisitive and Campbell Gordon are working with us to acquire further assets in the Thames Valley, London and elsewhere.”

Steve Hollands
Investment Manager

“I first used Campbell Gordon to advise on the sale of an office property with development land in Twyford. They provided a great level of service and good quality advice. Following this positive experience, I have used their services to advise on a range of projects across the UK, from Liverpool to St Albans. If we have a property where we need to get under the skin of its real long-term value in investment or development terms, of where we need brokerage advice and services, I know I can get in touch with Campbell Gordon and they will react quickly and get me the answers I need.”

Kate Beauchamp
Group Chief Legal Officer

“We recently appointed Campbell Gordon to advise us in relation to our office relocation. We have been growing rapidly and needed someone who would move quickly, give straightforward practical advice and drive hard to get us the best possible commercial deal. Campbell Gordon met in full our expectations and helped us achieve a fantastic result in the form of our new 17,000 sq.ft office at Yateley Hall. I would be happy to recommend Campbell Gordon to others looking for expert, specialist advice in relation to their office relocation.”

Sean McGillivray
Managing Director

“We appointed Campbell Gordon to handle this search for us in order to save us time, make sure we covered all of the ground, and to secure attractive commercial terms on our behalf.  We found in practice that their service and value went well beyond our expectations.  They made the whole process much smoother, navigated potential pitfalls, provided sound advice and guidance, and secured a first rate commercial outcome for us.  All in all they did an excellent job for us.”

Giles Chamberlin
CTO and co-Founder

“Campbell Gordon assisted us in achieving a 12.5% rental increase on an already over-rented property, with no downside risk to the Fund. This was a good result for all parties.”

Jay Cable
Head of Asset Management

“Campbell Gordon have been around a long time and we knew they were well regarded. We knew Keith Wise was one of the senior Partners, so we approached him. It was definitely the right decision to appoint Keith. His commitment was total and his expertise and integrity helped us get a better result for our client. We had a great experience of the Campbell Gordon service and I am sure we would use them again should the need arise.”

Sue O’Brien
Head of Dispute Resolution

“We have been delighted with the service we have received from Campbell Gordon. They have always been creative, diligent and persistent in chasing down all applicant enquiries and generating demand. They have been fundamental to our success, with all units now sold or occupied. We would certainly use their services again.”

Pat Mahoney
Project Director

“We appointed Campbell Gordon to act on our behalf in relation to the possible relocation of the business, or lease renewal of our existing 8,500 sq.ft office premises in Theale. Whilst they demonstrated their knowledge of the market and options available to us, their involvement also changed the behaviour of the parties we were negotiating with, which resulted in a significant change in the commercial terms. We were very pleased with the outcome, which was to stay put – our preferred option, on a much improved and acceptable commercial basis. We found the Campbell Gordon team to be good partners and I would be happy to recommend them to others.”

Chris Sharples
Director of Finance

“Campbell Gordon provided a 1^st class office agency service. They stand out in 3 key ways. Firstly they are pro-active – they don’t just sit back and wait for applicants to land on their lap. Secondly they are reliable, if you ask them to do something they do it. And thirdly the quality of their advice, they understand how to navigate the market and secure the best possible commercial outcomes. I would certainly recommend their services to others.”

Steve Pope
Group Director of Property and Asset Management

“Campbell Gordon has successfully delivered institutional quality leases for our rental portfolio as well as disposing of challenging assets at fair value in a timely manner. Excellent customer service and pragmatic advice is always provided, we would advise anyone transacting in the South East to consider their services.”

Charles Brooke
Managing Partner

“We take care to appoint the most appropriate professional adviser in each situation. We look for highly competent and experienced experts, who will operate on a fair commercial basis. This can mean we make unconventional appointments, diverting from the ‘big names’ and working with boutique firms. If chosen carefully this delivers for our firm the best possible service from competent individuals, on acceptable terms. Campbell Gordon absolutely fit this description. We put them under pressure to deliver and they met our requirements in full. I would be more than happy to recommend them.”
