James Shanks
Managing Director
After working in corporate real estate for over 20 years across the US, UK and Asia and now as an independent tenant advisor and tenant representative, I am still passionate about the service we provide and the clients we serve.
As a Chartered Surveyor I understand the need to balance rigour and auditable process along with the art required in our industry to take a boardroom concept to a fully functioning enviable workplace.
I have been lucky enough to work with commercial real estate professionals in some of the worlds leading tech firms which, through strong relationships and a collaborative approach has enabled Franklin Shanks to redefine lease flexibility and the concept of a lessor as a partner as opposed to a road block.
Outside of work I am a keen albeit inexperienced sailor and a passionate fan of F1 and horse racing.
