SAVILLS has strengthened its New South Wales office leasing division with the appointment of Tom Mott as a new state director.
Mott brings more than 18 years’ experience and joins from JLL, where he was a senior director in the Sydney CBD office leasing team.
“We are delighted to have secured someone of Tom’s calibre to lead the Sydney leasing team,” Savills Australia’s national head of office leasing, Graham Postma, said.
“Throughout his 18-year career, Tom has developed a strong network of clients and is well known for being a highly professional, dedicated and successful operator,”
Postma said Mott had been a top performer for many years, concluding several major leasing transactions, including 4,600 sqm to Arcadis at 580 George St; 3,500 sqm to Flexigroup at 179 Elizabeth St; and 1,900 sqm to Squire Patton Boggs at Aurora Place.
“In 2015, Tom was the top fee-generator for JLL’s office leasing division in NSW and second in Australia,” Postma said. “He also won the 2009 DEXUS Transaction of the Year for a 6,000sqm pre-lease deal to Carnival Australia.”
Mott said he was excited to join Savills and lead the division.
“I’m looking forward to working alongside some of Australia’s best agents in their respective business lines,” he said. “The desire and commitment to grow the business from CEO and board level is really motivating, and sets Savills apart from its competitors.”
Mott said his first priority would be to expand the team’s client base and increase revenue.
“I’m also committed to personally growing as a leader and developing and empowering the existing team, while attracting quality people that fit the Savills culture,” Mott concluded.
