The Bristol office of property agency Colliers International has strengthened its national offices team with the appointment of Catherine Collis.

A sector specialist with nearly 20 years’ experience in the local market, she has joined the team as a director.

Catherine spent 17 years with the Bristol office of regional commercial property consultancy Alder King where she worked on major developments such as Temple Quay, Aztec West and Bristol Business Park with clients including Northgate, Axa, Lloyds Bank and The Cooperative.

She is also a visiting lecturer at UWE, where she lectures students on Commercial Agency and Real Estate, is a committee member of Bristol’s Office Agents Society and the Bristol Property Agents’ Association.

Working alongside director James Preece, Catherine’s arrival has bolstered the team and will help to grow its client base through increased instructions on quality schemes across the South West.

Head of Colliers’ Bristol office, Tim Davies, said: “By adding Catherine to our team, we have one of the largest office agency teams in Bristol.

“Lots of exciting developments are happening in the city and with the office market due to take off we wanted to position ourselves to take advantage of this. Catherine’s extensive experience and expertise will perfectly complement the other skill sets in the team as we look forward to further growth in the office sector.”

James Preece added: “Catherine has worked as a specialist advisor in the South West offices market for many years and her experience, alongside her wide network of business professionals, is second to none.”

The team recently completed the largest single office transaction in Bristol for several years with law firm TLT signing of a new 10-year lease on around 90,000 sq ft at One Redcliff Street.
