Advisory firm Colliers has announced the expansion of its existing UK Debt Advisory team to now cover the EMEA region. The expanded team will be headed by Ben Thomason, director and head of debt advisory for EMEA.
‘The establishment of my team as an EMEA resource is a natural step,’ Thomason said. ‘We have been delivering enduring value to several of Colliers’ EMEA clients over the past few years. As stated in our Global Investor Outlook 2023 investors face being caught short when it comes to refinancing. We provide bespoke guidance on creative routes to market as more investors explore solutions like mezzanine debt, bridge loans and project finance.’
Luke Dawson, head of global and EMEA capital markets said: ‘Our clients are looking to us to support them on both their investment strategies and how to finance them. As such, we have made the strategic decision to expand the remit of Ben Thomason and his team to cover Debt Advisory across EMEA. Ben and the team will work closely with our excellent in-country Debt Advisory experts as well as partnering with the Capital Markets teams in EMEA.’
This latest strategic decision follows the appointment of Luke Dawson as head of Global Capital Markets & EMEA and the acquisition of Pangea Property Partners which resulted in the Nordic region expanding its Capital Markets expertise to over 80 people.
