Kevin Marsh, head of licensed leisure at Savills, comments: “Siân and Paul bring with them a wealth of experience that will further strengthen our licensed leisure team at Savills and our ability to provide a full service offering to our clients nationwide.

“The pub sector has really developed over the past few years with strong interest from investors and more competition to secure the prime assets, and we expect this to continue as the leisure market grows.”
