The Thames Valley specialist has added another Partner, as its expansion into the Western Corridor market continues.

Well known South East agent Natasha Ryan will be joining Hollis Hockley as a Partner. Ryan has 9 years experience in the South East market and has advised clients such as Columbia Threadneedle, LaSalle Investment Management, IPIF and London & Scottish Property amongst others. Ryan will be leaving Cluttons to join existing Partners Neil Hockley, Chris Barrs, Rhodri Shaw, Jeremy Metcalfe and Alice Hilliard.

Natasha Ryan said ‘I’m excited to be joining Hollis Hockley at an important stage of their growth in the Western Corridor market. I’ve worked with most the team during my career and am looking forward to starting and continuing to add value for clients.’

Chris Barrs, Partner at Hollis Hockley said ‘We are delighted that Natasha has chosen to join the Partnership. We have made a conscious decision to ‘rightsize’ for the current market conditions. We now have both the largest and most experienced Landlord disposal team focussed on the Thames Valley and we provide Partner level, proactive advice.’
