What Green & Partners does

Green & Partners LLP is a London-headquartered specialist commercial property consultancy founded in 1992, operating exclusively across UK retail real estate — shopping centres, high streets, and retail parks. The firm delivers three integrated service lines: Agency (lettings, development and asset management for landlords, plus acquisitions and disposals for national retailers), Investment (on- and off-market sourcing, acquisitions and disposals across retail sub-sectors), and Lease Advisory (rent reviews, lease renewals, restructuring and arbitration). The partnership serves institutional investors (70% of turnover), property companies, private landlords, national retailers, and local authorities, with every instruction resourced at Partner level — a deliberate high-touch model distinguishing the firm from larger national agencies.

The firm has 11-50 employees operating from a single London office at 27 Beak Street, Carnaby (relocated 2021, 35% smaller footprint, 95% paperless), and generates revenue exclusively through professional services fees tied to property transactions and advisory mandates — pricing is per-engagement with no disclosed standard fee schedule, and property listings on the website range from under £1M to £28.5M depending on asset size and type. Revenue mechanics are entirely project-based, with notable transaction volumes including 87 locations secured for Reed In Partnership (270,000+ sq ft, one year), a 21% above-market-valuation disposal for Palace Capital, and joint listing with Cushman & Wakefield on Liberty Romford (412,000 sq ft).

The business is structured as an LLP with no parent company, no external funding, and no subsidiaries. The partnership comprises four equity partners (Adam Bindman, Mike Willoughby, Ed Smith, Matt Beardall), longer-tenured partners (David Freeman, Stephen Parker), salaried and associate partners, and a graduate pipeline. Marketing is principally direct enterprise field sales, supported by a property-listing website, LinkedIn, industry press (Property Week, CoStar, Completely Retail News) and CoStar UK award recognition (2022, 2023, 2024). Customer concentration on institutional investors (70% of turnover) is the dominant commercial characteristic.

Broad incumbents

• Colliers International: Colliers is a global commercial real estate services firm where Green & Partners' Investment Partner David Freeman previously headed in-town investment.

• Cushman & Wakefield: Cushman & Wakefield is a global real estate services firm explicitly appointed alongside Green & Partners by Redical on The Liberty Romford shopping centre. While far larger and multi-sector, it competes with Green & Partners on UK retail and shopping-centre mandates and represents the incumbent scale archetype G&P measures against.
• Knight Frank: Knight Frank is a global commercial and residential property advisor with a strong UK retail-agency and investment-advisory practice. It competes with Green & Partners for institutional shopping-centre, high-street, and retail-park mandates across the UK.
• CBRE: CBRE is the world's largest commercial real estate services firm with a substantial UK retail agency and investment practice that competes for the same institutional mandates (asset management, leasing, investment sales) that Green & Partners pursues at a boutique scale.
• Savills: Savills is a leading UK-headquartered global real estate advisor with a strong retail agency and investment practice targeting the same institutional investors and property companies (including M&G Real Estate and similar clients) as Green & Partners, but at multi-national scale and across multiple asset classes.
• JLL: JLL is a global real estate services firm with a dedicated UK retail agency and capital markets practice that competes for shopping-centre, high-street, and retail-park mandates from the same institutional and property-company clients served by Green & Partners.
• Avison Young: Avison Young is a global commercial real estate services firm offering agency, investment, and lease advisory services across UK retail and commercial assets, competing with Green & Partners for institutional and property-company mandates.
