Strutt & Parker has appointed Alex Robinson as a director within its broker team as part of its expansion strategy in prime central London’s residential market.
Robinson joins from Knight Frank, where he spent seven years in the firm’s private office, most recently as a partner. He brings 15 years of experience across residential and commercial property sectors.
In his new role, Robinson will work with Strutt & Parker’s national network of offices and brokers within its private client team, focusing on the firm’s growth in London’s high-value residential sector.
“Joining Strutt & Parker is a pivotal opportunity to be part of a business on a path of significant growth,” Robinson said. “I look forward to working alongside some of the best names in this industry as we expand services into key markets and introduce clients to the service-focused approach the business is known for.”
Claire Reynolds, UK head of sales at Strutt & Parker, said: “Alex has one of the leading reputations in our industry, renowned for his discretion, integrity and credibility in some of the city’s most complex and sensitive transactions. He is a brilliant fit for our business and brings the energy and client focus that complements our growth ambitions.”
The appointment follows recent changes at Strutt & Parker, including a rebrand encompassing a new visual identity, updated marketing services and a refurbishment programme across its nationwide office network. The firm has also introduced a hybrid broker model in London backed by shareholder BNP Paribas.
Lismore promotes surveyor in Edinburgh
Lismore Real Estate Advisors has promoted Chrissie Clancy-Crofts to senior surveyor within its Edinburgh team. Clancy-Crofts first engaged with the business in 2022 through a work experience programme while studying, before formally joining in November 2024.
“I am thrilled to step into this new role at such an exciting time for Lismore,” Clancy-Crofts said. “I have really had the opportunity to grow within the business and I look forward to continuing to support our clients and contributing to the firm’s bright future.”
Colin Finlayson, director at Lismore, said: “We identified Chrissie as a rising star during her time with us as a work experience student and have been keen to support her development ever since. She has built strong technical and analytical skills, demonstrates excellent problem-solving ability and has developed a great rapport with her clients.”
The appointment comes as Lismore marks its sixth anniversary. Since its launch in March 2020, the business has advised on more than £2 billion of Scottish investment transactions. The moves reflect broader trends as landlords shift to strategic portfolios and firms adapt their service models to meet changing market demands.
Both appointments signal continued investment in talent across the property advisory sector, with firms strengthening their teams to respond to evolving client requirements in high-value residential and commercial markets.
