Stockholm-based Catella has appointed seven new commercial project managers and analysts to its Nordic corporate finance property advisory business.

Magnus Lange and Carl Wingmark will both work in senior commercial roles in the Stockholm office.

Lange has more than 20 years of experience in property transactions with both national and international investors. He joins Catella from Cushman & Wakefield where he was head of Swedish operations.

Wingmark has nearly 15 years of experience in property transactions and advisory services. He joins from PwC, where he has held several senior roles in PwC's property advisory services.

Gustaf Kullenberg, formerly at Nordea Corporate Finance, and Marco Nilsson from Cass Business School in London, have been recruited as analysts in Stockholm. Jesper Greitz bolsters Catella's research department.

Erik Sveder, a new graduate with a specialisation in finance, joined in August as an analyst at Catella's Gothenburg office, and Filip Hansson, a new graduate in land surveying with a specialisation in property finance, has been hired as an analyst in Malmö.

'We are strengthening our corporate finance activities with new employees in commercial roles in order to address increasing demand for both advisory services related to capital markets and transaction advisory services,' said Jesper Bo Hansen, head of Catella's Corporate Finance operations in the Nordics. 'The transaction market is as strong as last year, and we are seeing a large number of initiatives in the capital markets. In addition, there is substantial interest from international investors, both in Sweden and around the Nordics.'

Catella intends to recruit more staff during the autumn, he added.
