The Team
The 45+ strong Rating team headed up by Josh Myerson is divided into three principal workstreams: Occupier Rating, Landlord/Developer Rating and Rate Management.
The Occupier Rating sub-team advises some of the UK’s largest and most recognisable occupiers across retail, hospitality, leisure, logistics, healthcare, and corporate portfolios. The team’s focus is on delivering strategic advice and appeal management to minimise rate liability and identify operational efficiencies. Clients include national brands, blue-chip occupiers, and public sector bodies.
