Savills
Savills has appointed a new head of UK science to further bolster the firm’s expansion into the sector.
Tom Mellows, who had been a director in the Savills south east office since 2005, joins the team after it secured the £77m acquisition of Rolling Stock Yard in King’s Cross on behalf of Life Science REIT last year.
Mellows, a director in the Savills South East office agency team since 2005, will build on the progress made by Matt Soules, director in the Cambridge building & project consultancy team, who will play an operational and advisory role moving forward.
Also joining the team is Rupert Dando, an associate from the firm’s Cambridge office, who will be based at the firm’s Margaret Street head office.
“The market has seen major growth, transacting record volumes in 2021 with significantly more in the pipeline for the year ahead,” said Mellows, adding “It is fantastic that we have such an excellent team to help service the level of demand that we are now seeing across the UK.”
