Jake, who completed his education at Chichester College, added: “I am looking forward to expanding my wide range of knowledge across all commercial property sectors, including retail, industrial, office and investment, and will be able to strengthen my experience, working with clients across Surrey, Sussex and Kent.”
He works alongside partner Steve Berrett and associate Mikael Goldsmith in the Gatwick agency team.
