John Rushby has been appointed Partner and Head of Specialist Leisure at Knight Frank
night Frank, the global property adviser, has launched a new specialist leisure offer with the senior appointment of John Rushby. Joining as a Partner and Head of Specialist Leisure, John will lead the new service line to build on Knight Frank's market-leading specialist property investment team, as the firm continues to expand its remit.
Joining Knight Frank from Colliers International where he was Head of Specialist Leisure working across the valuations and advisory space, John has valuable experience of mergers, acquisitions and corporate strategy and security review work. He will be at the forefront of building the firm's leisure offer, to concentrate on this rapidly growing part of the alternatives market, as investors look to diversify their portfolios outside of the core property asset classes to seek further long-term income producing asset opportunities.
With over 25 years' experience, John has significant expertise in advising operators, investors and lenders around esoteric leisure sectors such as caravan and lodge parks, golf courses, marinas, stadiums, marinas, and visitor attractions including aquariums, theme parks and most recently artificial surf parks. A specialist in this field, John has advised on high-profile assets including valuing the iconic all England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club at Wimbledon, Emirates Old Trafford, and over 250 golf courses ranging from individual private members' clubs to the major UK golf operators through to world famous, signature courses and resorts.
Knight Frank's specialist leisure team will form part of the firm's specialist property offering, enhancing its market-leading capital markets and advisory teams, and drawing on its wide-reaching international network. The team will specialise in business, portfolio and operating asset valuations, deal origination, feasibility advice, business turnaround and security reviews in addition to operational and operator selection services and consulting and brokerage.
