Savills appoints new leaders in Brook Green and Cirencester offices

Savills has appointed Ben Hunt as head of its Brook Green office in west London, succeeding Paul Christian, who has moved to Cirencester to take on the role of head of residential.

Hunt joins as a director with more than 25 years’ experience in the London residential market. He previously worked at Winkworth, where he operated across its Hammersmith and Shepherd’s Bush offices.

In his new role, Hunt will oversee residential sales across Brook Green, Shepherd’s Bush, Hammersmith and Brackenbury Village, working alongside teams in Chiswick and Ealing and across the wider Savills network.

Christian, who has led the Brook Green office since 2024, will now be based in Cirencester. He will work across Savills’ south west network, including offices in Stow-on-the-Wold, Cheltenham, Banbury, Bath, Bristol and Oxford.

Christopher Bramwell, head of Savills west London region, said: “Ben joins us with an impressive track record and more than 25 years’ experience in the local market. A core part of our strategy is building teams with deep‑rooted local knowledge, and Ben’s insight, credibility and established relationships will play an important role in strengthening our presence in west London.”

“I wish Paul the very best in his new role in Cirencester, where I know he will be a tremendous asset to the team,” he added.

Christian commented: “The move [to Cicencester] presents a brilliant opportunity to work alongside an exceptional regional team and to further strengthen Savills’ residential offering in the area. I’m excited to build on the firm’s strong local reputation and to continue delivering the high‑quality advice and service our clients expect.”

Hunt added: “With a deep understanding of the local market, I’m looking forward to building on the team’s impressive momentum and driving continued success. Working collaboratively with colleagues across the office, the wider region and the Savills network will be central to achieving outstanding results for our clients.”

Lee Koffman joins the London Broker

He brings more than 30 years of experience in the residential market, including 16 years at Aston Chase and six years at Sotheby’s International Realty, where he was director and head of North West London.

Koffman brings more than 30 years of front-line experience, having spent 16 years at Aston Chase and a further six years at Sotheby’s International Realty, where he was Director and Head of North West London.

His appointment reflects the London Broker’s ambition to attract exceptional brokers as it builds out its independent, broker-only platform.

Koffman said: “After a 30-year career in the prime and super-prime markets, including my time at Aston Chase and Sotheby’s International Realty, I’ve taken the step of going independent by joining the London Broker.

“This broker-only model is built on trusted relationships with both vendors and buyers, as well as close collaboration with some of London’s most respected buying agencies and leading solicitors.

“The London Broker felt like a natural fit, sharing the same values that have guided my career: integrity, trust, and transparency. I’m particularly excited to be working alongside Rupert and the wider team as I take this next step.”

Rupert Collingwood, chief growth officer, London Broker, commented: “His [Koffman’s] arrival marks a real step forward for us. He is the first broker to join since Nick Carter’s acquisition, and his decision to come on board is a strong endorsement of where we are heading.

“A great deal has been happening behind the scenes since the switchover, and we have been working hard to develop an offering from London’s prime brokers that is genuinely second to none.”
