Sam Jamieson adds to Leeds JLL team
He joins as director and will focus on the acquisition and disposal of office developments across Yorkshire and the North East.
Jamieson was previously partner at Cushman and Wakefield, where he also specialised in acquisition and disposal instructions, for clients in Leeds, Sheffield, and the North East.
Before that, he was at Knight Frank for almost six years following his graduation from Northumbria University, where he obtained a Masters degree in real estate.
Jamieson will work with Leeds office head Tom McWilliams, and his entry into the Leeds team comes as veteran Jeff Pearey announced his retirement.

Tom McWilliams, head of Yorkshire and North East at JLL, said: “It’s hard to overstate the impact that Jeff has had on Leeds’ office market over the past four decades – not least here at JLL, where he played a pivotal role in establishing and growing our presence in the region.
“He leaves us in a strong position at an exciting time for the real estate sector in Yorkshire and the North East.
“The region is benefitting from a combination of inward investment and renewed devolution powers, and our ambition is to help businesses capitalise on this environment through development.
“High-level appointments such as Sam will be pivotal in allowing us to deliver on this ambition.
“He brings a wealth of experience and strong reputation for delivering positive results for clients, and I look forward to working closely with him to support our region’s ongoing development.”
Sam Jamieson, head of office agency, Yorkshire and North East, at JLL, said: “Our region is seeing strong momentum from both investors and occupiers, and JLL has an incredible track record of helping to shape that growth.
“The scale of expertise within the team and the chance to work with clients on some of the region’s most exciting developments made this an easy decision for me.”
Jeff Pearey, senior director at JLL, said: “It’s been a real privilege to work alongside so many great clients, colleagues and consultants over the past 40 years, and I’ve been fortunate to have a front row seat to watch Leeds’ ongoing transformation into one of the UK’s prime destinations to work, live and study in.
“Although it feels like the right time for me to step back, it’s undoubtedly a compelling time to be working in the region’s property space. I look forward to watching Tom, Sam, and the team continue to drive the firm forward.”
