Leading diversified professional services and investment management firm Colliers has appointed Matthew Ardron as a new director in the EMEA capital markets team.
Ardron joined on 1 February from Henley Investment Management where he was responsible for developing investor relations and managing capital raising across EMEA, with a particular focus on building strong investor relations in the Middle East.
At Colliers, Ardron will be tasked to support clients with their capital requirements and provide strategic guidance to investors seeking partnerships, joint ventures, and similar opportunities.
This hire expands on Colliers’ equity raising capabilities building on Colliers’ UK acquiring Cap Real Estate (CapRE), a real estate funding advisory business, at the end of 2023.
Ardron will report to Luke Dawson, global and EMEA, head of capital markets, and work closely with the Colliers EMEA capital markets team, which from its inception has grown to 18 professionals spanning multiple sectors.
Said Dawson: 'Matthew’s hiring perfectly aligns both with the current dynamics of the market and our longer-term strategy of providing our clients with a full suite of capital markets capabilities.
'The ability to connect capital with partners has never been more important and we already have several assignments in this space. Having Matthew onboard will allow us to accelerate this high-value service for our clients.'
Added Ardron: 'I am delighted to be joining Colliers and helping add new relationships and skills to the team and region. The opportunity to leverage the Colliers platform, culture and network will unlock some unique opportunities.'
