Strutt & Parker appoints director to drive growth in prime central London
Strutt & Parker has appointed Alex Robinson as a Director to its broker team as it looks to expand its presence in prime central London.
Robinson joins from Knight Frank, where he spent seven years working in the firm’s private office and was most recently a partner. He has 15 years of experience in residential and commercial property.
In his new role, Robinson will work with brokers across Strutt & Parker’s national network of offices and the private client team, supporting the firm’s growth ambitions in London’s high-value residential sector.
According to Robinson, the move represents an important step in his career.
“Joining Strutt & Parker is an important opportunity to be part of a business that is on a path to significant growth,” he said.
“I look forward to working with some of the best names in the industry as we expand services into key markets and introduce customers to the service-focused approach the business is known for.”
Strutt & Parker’s UK sales head Claire Reynolds believes Robinson’s reputation makes him a strong addition to the business.
“Alex has a leading reputation in our industry, renowned for his discretion, integrity and reliability in some of the City’s most complex and sensitive transactions,” he said.
“He is a perfect fit for our business and brings energy and customer focus that complements our growth ambitions.”
The appointment follows a period of investment and transformation at Strutt & Parker, which has recently included a new visual identity, updated marketing services and a renewal program across its nationwide office network.
The company is also expanding its workforce, including the launch of a hybrid broker model in London, backed by shareholder BNP Paribas.
