Fisher German has hired experienced industrial and logistics broker Laura Sutton as a partner in its London office, leading its operation across the capital and South East.

Sutton, who joins this month, has more than 30 years’ experience in commercial property transactions, consultancy, development, strategic land, professional and agency disciplines, and has previously held senior positions at Savills and JLL.

Fisher German describes her as having "superb knowledge of London’s industrial property market, as well as marketplaces, with a strong industrial presence right across the UK". It added she will also support the company's national growth strategy in the sector.

The newly created team in London will form part of Fisher German’s wider national industrial and logistics transactional business, which provides acquisition, disposal, development and strategic land services. Sutton will lead work with both new and existing clients in London and the South East, and work closely with its regional office network to support with strategic land opportunities and large-scale disposals.

Rob Champion, national industrial and logistics lead at Fisher German, said in a statement: "[Laura's] wealth of experience in the industrial and logistics sector and strong market knowledge will further support our growth strategy as we look to expand our presence in the capital and the South East. She will help us to develop a strong London-based team as we look to land additional hires in the near future."

Mike Price, head of commercial transactional at Fisher German, added: "As we continue to make significant investment in growing both our London office and our industrial and logistics specialism, the appointment of Laura as a high performer in the sector demonstrates our commitment to this expansion.

"I look forward to working closely with Laura as part of our national strategy to grow our presence in the industrial and logistics market even further."
