You’ll not find many agents who feel as at home sitting around a farmer’s kitchen table, talking about the harvest, as they do in the offices of an AI software engineer, discussing the future of genetic research.
Dick’s rural background and three decades in commercial property - the last 20 in Cambridge - have seen him build an unequalled knowledge of the dynamics of what constitutes successful development from all perspectives; landowner, developer, occupier and ultimate owner. It’s a rare combination.
His entrepreneurial flair and knack for spotting the best opportunities to bring land, finance and the world’s biggest companies together have added to Dick’s reputation for making things happen.
He provides landowners, developers and funds with financial advice that will enable them to maximise the returns from the assets they own, whether that be land or buildings and brings all his understanding and experience of what is ‘right’ and how best to bring what is ‘right’ forward.
He’s been behind the development or expansion of most of Cambridge’s most significant office, laboratory or industrial schemes in recent years, and loves nothing more than seeing the ordinary become extraordinary.
