Savills France has recruited Marina Lavrov and Antoine Vandamme as co-heads of high street leasing. The move marks a major milestone in the expansion of the company’s retail department.
Marina and Antoine will join Savills France in September. Based in the Paris headquarters they will be responsible for developing the company’s city centre business in France. They will also liaise with Savills international teams to support the group’s cross-border advisory work.
Both have extensive knowledge of the retail sector.
