Lambert Smith Hampton (LSH) is pleased to announce the appointment of Dean Marks as a Director in their Office Advisory Team in the company’s London office.

Dean will oversee a broad area encompassing Central and Greater London, with a primary focus on investment opportunities in the office sector.

Dean joins LSH from Fineman Ross, where he spent the past 3 years, and Savills prior to that. He brings a wealth of experience in the sale and acquisition of business space investments across the UK and Greater London. Dean has advised a wide array of clients, including private equity firms, institutional and private investors, as well as local councils. His most recent projects have included a £9.35m off-market industrial open storage acquisition for Marchmont, and a £19.70m off-market office investment acquisition for the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham.

Dean will work closely with both the National and Central London teams, further strengthening LSH’s capital markets offering as the office sector sees renewed activity.

David Earle, Head of London Office at LSH, welcomed Dean’s appointment, saying:

"Dean is a great addition to our team, bringing with him an established client base and a proven track record in transacting office investments. As our London office continues to grow, we are focused on recruiting top talent at all levels to meet the increasing demand driven by our growing market share and enhanced profile in the London market."
