Alistair Elliott's Summary
I joined Knight Frank in 1983, spending the first 20 years of my career in the office sector, particularly development and agency, during which time I was involved in a wide range of projects throughout the south east.
During this time, I advised a cross section of ‘landlords’ including, PruPIM, Landid, British Land, Canary Wharf plc., St Martins, AXA, Segro, Schroders, Brixton and Akeler on schemes such as Green Park Reading, Aviator Park Addlestone, Canary Wharf, Farnborough Business Park and The Ark Hammersmith.
I then moved into expanding the KF business with interest in a range of areas including logistics and industrial, hotels and healthcare.
I was appointed an Equity Partner in 1995.
In early 2006 I was appointed Head of the Commercial business within the UK, comprising some 11 commercial offices throughout England, Scotland and Wales.
In 2013 I was appointed Senior Partner & Group Chairman. In this role I Chair the Executive Board, the principal focus of which is to develop the firm's global strategy.
I have been an active member of LandAid over many years and in 2013 accepted an invitation to join as a Trustee.

Knight Frank is a market leader for high quality commercial and residential property in London and throughout the UK. Renowned for applying the highest standards of quality and integrity in all our property services, our reputation for uncompromising professionalism in everything we do is earned day in and day out by serving our clients and earning their trust.
We’re passionate about property and are professional in everything we do, which is why we are the world’s largest privately owned global property agency and consultancy.
Knight Frank's Commercial Division provides investment, agency and professional services across core sectors of office, retail and industrial as well as hotels, student accommodation, healthcare and other emerging sectors across the UK and global markets.
As Head of the Commercial Division, I was responsible for our 11 UK commercial offices, comprising some 550 people in c.40 teams.
Despite the challenging markets, the focus continued to be medium term growth in the UK whilst developing and integrating our European businesses, where Knight Frank has a huge opportunity. The objective remained to maintain core agency skills, whilst building the consulting areas and developing new opportunities, and placing a very significant emphasis on client management.
The commercial business traded profitability during each year of this period.
