Mr Musca said the national pubs division drew on the experience of twelve specialists in an increasingly consolidating industry where cross-border representation was becoming central to the national expansion platforms of many operating groups.
“We’re building the team in anticipation of brokerage activity following a Nike swoosh trajectory in the medium term across the country.”
Ms Mason brings with her nearly five years experience in both Perth and Brisbane as a Senior Sales Executive for capital markets, hotels and leisure, during which she was responsible for a range of hotel and leisure property transactions.
