Savills Australia has boosted its Perth-based Office Leasing team with the appointment of Mark Stanhope as an Associate Director.

Mr Stanhope previously operated his own interior design and architectural practice for 10 years, focusing mostly on the Perth market but also Brisbane, Melbourne, Adelaide, Hobart, Sydney and Singapore.

He will work with the Director for Office Leasing, Shelley Ritter, and play a pivotal role in delivering a high level of leadership and management within the team.

“The most exciting thing for me is to work with Shelley and help shape and grow the team to be the best it can be,” Mr Stanhope said.

“I will be aiming to complete my Masters of Business Administration, which will ultimately assist in establishing a positive and grounded working environment.”

Mr Stanhope has more than 15 years of experience in the industry, and his appointment will continue to strengthen the Perth Office Leasing team’s premium service to clients.

In his spare time, Mr Stanhope partakes in land speed racing and last year raised $30,000 for the Conquer Cystic Fibrosis foundation. He will endeavor to raise a further $50,000 for the foundation next year.
