Edd heads the Middle East operations for Cushman & Wakefield, having joined (what was then ) DTZ in the Middle East over 20 years ago.

Having worked through the Financial Crisis of 2008/9, the oil price crash of 2014, the blockade of Qatar (2018-2022) and most recently the pandemic, Edd has seen a number of disruptions to the property cycle and finds it fascinating how the market copes with major events outside the traditional market cycle.

A longstanding APREA supporter, Edd has a home in Thailand and has a passion for being out on the water whenever possible!
