Strutt & Parker has made two new appointments in its West End Investment and Central London Retail teams.

James Macfarlane has joined West End Investment as an Associate Partner from Gerald Eve where he spent five and a half years advising clients on the West End markets.

Central London Retail has expanded with the appointment of senior surveyor Julian Bishop. Julian joins from BC Retail where he has spent three years working with landlords and operators in Central London’s retail and leisure sectors.

Strutt & Parker’s Central London retail team was established two years ago by partner Will Moss to work with the London teams to service occupiers and landlords in the capital.

Damian Cronk, Head of Commercial and West End at Strutt & Parker said. “The arrival of James and Julian will enable us to further develop the services we are able to offer our clients, I am delighted to have them both on board.”
