CPP brings shed specialist on board

Advisory business Commercial Property Partners said the acquisition of Moriarty & Co will strengthen its industrial and logistics platform across Yorkshire and the Midlands and launch the firm into the North West and other regions.

Moriarty will bring an ‘order book’ comprising 6m sq ft of work to CPP, comprising existing buildings and immediate development pipeline, creating a combined UK-wide platform of 25m+ sq ft.

Steve Moriarty, founder of Moriarty & Co, will join CPP as director with a national role, working alongside CPP co-founders and directors Roger Haworth and Toby Vernon and forming part of the 20-strong team.

CPP is a cross-sector real estate advisory business specialising in leasing, development, capital markets and property and asset management.

Founded in September 2013, the team currently operates from four offices: Leeds, Sheffield, Nottingham and London.

Moriarty & Co was established in 2010 by Steve Moriarty, and over the last 14 years has built an enviable client base with schemes across the UK, with a focus on Big Box developments.

Vernon said: “The acquisition of Moriarty & Co is the first stage of a strategic growth plan for the business to build on our solid reputation and market-leading track record and to grow the team further.

“We are thrilled to welcome Steve on board, having known and worked with him for many years. As one of the best-known figures in the UK industrial and logistics leasing market, and a super talented operator, not only does Steve bring a huge order book of prime instructions, he also brings an exemplary reputation in the market and a wealth of experience, knowledge and contacts.”

Moriarty said: “I’m delighted to be working with Toby and Roger again and joining the excellent CPP team. We will be looking to quickly make a number of key hires, growing the business nationally and building on the established brand.”
