Yvonne Court

International Partner, Head of EMEA Cross Border Retail and Leisure • United Kingdom


About

Yvonne leads the EMEA Cross Border Retail & Leisure team; often the first and single point of contact for retailers, brands, F&B and leisure operators when moving into new markets globally or when they have real estate needs in multiple countries. 

She applies her decades of experience in international retail and strategic consultancy and from representing many international brands to advise occupiers and landlords.

Yvonne and the team cover everything from specialist consultancy offering initial advice on new market entry and location strategy including demographic analysis, rental and occupancy cost information and country specific legislation; through to agency execution and links into other Cushman & Wakefield service lines.

This client focused approach enables Cushman & Wakefield to monitor, coordinate and deal with key clients’ real estate needs and ensures they consistently receive the highest possible service.

Fitting in the Fit Out

Inflationary pressures that dominated the economic environment in 2022 and 2023 are showing signs of easing across the UK economy. The consequential increases in the Bank of England’s base rate up to 5.25% – the highest level since 2008 – are now expected to gradually ease over the medium-term.
