Property People: Senior asset manager joins Evans from JLL; CBRE adds to specialist markets team
Leeds-based Evans Property Group has appointed Richard Bean as senior asset manager to work on its portfolio and land holdings and help manage and deliver several projects across Yorkshire.
Bean joins after four years at the Leeds office of JLL where he was associate director within the office agency team, prior to which he worked at CBRE.
He will be working with portfolio director Alan Syers, managing existing Evans Property Group assets. Bean will be involved in the delivery of the ongoing £25m regeneration of the Bond Court area of Leeds city centre where the transformed Minerva and Capitol office buildings have created more than 50,000 sq ft of offices.
Bean will also work on Gateway 45, Leeds City Region’s largest Enterprise Zone advanced manufacturing and logistics hub.
Syers said: “Richard is a huge asset to the team, bringing with him a wealth of experience and enthusiasm. We are pleased to welcome Richard on board at this busy and exciting time to support us in the delivery of key projects in Leeds and wider Yorkshire region.”

CBRE in Leeds has welcomed Sam Potrykus as senior surveyor
The specialist markets team at CBRE in Leeds has welcomed Sam Potrykus as senior surveyor.
Potrykus joins the CBRE Leeds team after four years with the agency division of James A Baker.
CBRE’s Leeds specialist markets team is headed up by senior director Andrew Watt and in addition to Potrykus includes surveyor Harry Adams and associate director James Laidler, who is responsible for CBRE’s regional healthcare offering.
In 2016, the team undertook major instructions from Greene King, Marstons, Punch Taverns, EI Group (previously Enterprise Inns), Heineken, Ossett Brewery, Camerons, Charles Wells Pub Company, Provincial Pubs and within the Healthcare sector, Viridian Housing, Park Care Homes and Alpha Care.
Watt says: “Our UK Pubs report showed that pubs are moving to mainstream real estate and are now being viewed as valid alternatives to offices and retail by investors. New buyers are emerging that haven’t previously been in the sector and long income funds are targeting operational real estate.
“In Leeds we have experienced a busy start to 2017 and this new appointment will further strengthen our regional offering and enable us to continue to offer the highest level of service to our diverse and growing client base.”
