He has a background in building surveying and project management and has also held programme management and regional director roles. He joins Cushman & Wakefield from CBRE.

“We have seen increased demand for project management services within alternative asset classes at the same time that the scope of many projects has changed to better incorporate sustainability and ESG imperatives,” Normandale said. “It’s a time of transition for the industry and I’m excited to join Cushman & Wakefield’s PDS team to help clients navigate this changing environment.”
