About me

I specialise in real estate and lead Hill Dickinson’s Retail and Leisure sector. I advise landlords, tenants, investors and developers on a wide range of commercial property matters, from portfolio management and acquisitions to development agreements and strategic estate planning.

My clients include high-profile retailers, national chains and international operators. I’m known for my no-nonsense attitude and collaborative style and always focus on delivering clear, commercial advice that supports business goals.

Whether navigating a time-sensitive deal or shaping long-term strategy, I take pride in being accessible, solutions-driven and easy to work with. I enjoy building long-term relationships with clients and being a trusted sounding board throughout the property lifecycle.

Outside of work, I’m happiest by the sea, with recent escapes to the Scilly Isles proving a firm family favourite. I also speak basic French and share a playlist with more Bruce Springsteen than most people would admit.

My experience

  • Bensons for Beds.
  • Acquisition of Carpetright stores when Carpetright went into administration in August 2024.
