Cluttons appoints Mark Sambridge and Gareth Buckley as joint Heads of Commercial

Real asset advisor Cluttons has appointed Mark Sambridge and Gareth Buckley as joint heads of its national commercial sector.

The newly merged teams will develop an enhanced, data‑enabled and market‑focused commercial real estate offering, supporting Cluttons’ wider growth ambitions across key sectors including public sector work, London offices and national industrial portfolios.

Under the new structure, Sambridge and Buckley will oversee all commercial sector activities including agency, investment, lease advisory, valuation, business rates, projects and building consultancy, commercial management and occupier services. These teams operate across the UK, with offices including London, Reading, Oxford, Manchester, Newcastle and Glasgow.

Sambridge has led Cluttons’ work in helping clients use data to manage their property portfolios more effectively, from tracking performance across large estates to improving how decisions are made and operations run. His experience advising organisations on their long-term property strategies will underpin a more joined-up commercial offering.

Buckley is a specialist in business rates, with extensive experience advising major companies and public sector bodies across the UK. He has a strong record of building expert advisory teams and helping clients navigate complex property tax and valuation challenges, experience that will broaden Cluttons’ capabilities for larger, multi-site clients.

John Gravett, CEO, Cluttons, said: “With Mark and Gareth working together, we have the leadership strength to accelerate the development of our commercial sector offering. Their combined approach will sharpen our market presence, enhance delivery and help realise our short, medium and long‑term ambitions.”

Mark Sambridge, joint Head of Commercial, said: “We are bringing the commercial sector teams together under one strategy to create more impact for clients and deliver a truly integrated service model across the lifecycle.”

Gareth Buckley, joint Head of Commercial, said: “There is huge potential across our commercial business. We have a great team of experts, already delivering on a wide range of projects. Our task is to provide clear direction, grow our market presence and build a strong, joined up commercial strategy for the future.

Established in 1765, Cluttons is one of the oldest firms of chartered surveyors in the UK.
