South East: Dean Consulting launches as adviser to property sector

A new commercial property consultancy has been formed to provide strategic advice to property companies, public sector organisations and occupiers in central London, the Thames Valley and along the M3/A3 corridor.

Dean Consulting, set up by former SEGRO regional director Kate Dean, specialises in master planning, strategic leasing, branding and marketing, development advice, asset management and customer care.

Dean has formed the consultancy after gaining more than 10 years’ experience at SEGRO where she ran its office portfolio including the IQ business parks in Farnborough, Cambridge, Winnersh and Slough. She also worked on major industrial schemes in the Thames Valley and M3 and M23 corridors, including the Slough Trading Estate.

A board member of the Enterprise M3 LEP, Dean is also actively involved with the British Council for Offices and the Association of Women in Property.

She commented: “Confidence is returning to the regional office and industrial market and our expertise in delivering and marketing large, high-profile schemes and managing the often-difficult period between completing a building and getting it income producing, is attracting strong interest from public and private sector organisations.”
