Cushman & Wakefield has expanded its healthcare advisory team further with the appointment of Sophia Sham as associate.

Sham  (pictured) joins from the Savills’ healthcare team, where she provided valuation and consultancy advice to lenders, operators and developers across the social care, retirement and primary care sectors. She has also previously worked for Edwards Symmons and then Lambert Smith Hampton after it acquired the former.

Martin Robb, head of healthcare advisory at Cushman & Wakefield, said: “Sophia’s arrival means we now have four dedicated and specialist professionals in our team. Her experience means she’s ideally placed to hit the ground running and help keep up our momentum.

“When we started trading 10 months ago our aim was to build the best team offering the best service to the best clients, initially on the advisory side and then on transactions. Thanks to James Hanson and Tom Robinson, who joined from JLL and Savills respectively, we achieved this. Now with Sophia’s experience in valuation and consultancy across the whole of the healthcare spectrum, we’re ideally-placed for continued growth.”
