Goatman promoted to global energy and sustainability role

Knight Frank has appointed David Goatman to the newly created role of global head of energy and sustainability services.  

The broker said it planned “significant investment” to grow the energy and sustainability services business line over the next two years, based on “clear and compelling client demand”.

Goatman was previously head of energy, sustainability and natural resources EMEA at  Knight Frank and has been with the UK-based partnership for more than 13 years. 

Knight Frank senior partner William Beardmore-Gray, said: “The greatest challenge facing the global real estate industry is climate change and the pathway to net zero. As a global business it is crucial that we support our clients on this journey with a range of high-quality advisory services. David has successfully grown our UK energy and sustainability business over a number of years and I am very pleased that he has taken on this global role.”
