CHARLES Wardroper, who was Leeds-based managing director for property firm CB Richard Ellis in Yorkshire and the North East, has been appointed managing director of its business in Poland.
Mr Wardroper replaces Nigel Wade who is leaving the company.
Mr Wardroper has over 20 years of commercial property experience, including seven years at CBRE where, for the past two years, he has headed up the company's UK North East regional busi
ness, significantly improving market share.
Previous roles have included a number of senior positions in office agency teams at both CBRE and its market competitors.
CB Richard Ellis Poland established its first office in Warsaw in 2000. Today, the company has over 100 advisors providing transaction and consultancy real estate services across the country.
In his new role Mr Wardroper will focus on continuing to build the Polish business.
He said: "Having enjoyed many years working with CBRE in the UK, I am delighted to be joining such a strong team in Poland.
"Deteriorating economic conditions inevitably represent challenges for real estate owners and occupiers but, with the right advice, they can also represent opportunity.
"Poland's economy is expected to slow but remain relatively healthy in 2009 and the benefits of ongoing infrastructure investments, including better roads and rail links, will also become more apparent.
