Mark Ridley

Founded in the UK in 1855, I am proud to say Savills is one of the world's leading property agents across commercial, residential & rural real estate. With 600 offices across the Americas, Europe, Asia Pacific, Africa and the Middle East.

Our scale gives us wide-ranging specialist and local knowledge, to be best place as the international adviser of choice across every aspect of property.

Graduated in 1984 with an Honours degree from University of Reading, accepted as an Associate of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors in 1986 and made a Fellow in 2012. In 1998 I was made a member of the Savills Commercial Board. In 2000 I was made a member of the Remuneration Committee. I was appointed Chairman and Chief Executive of Savills Commercial in January 2008 and appointed to the Group Executive Board when it formed in February 2008. In January 2013 I became Chief Executive of Savills (UK) Limited following the amalgamation of the Commercial and L&P businesses. In September 2014 I became Chief Executive Officer of Savills UK & Europe. As of 1 January 2019, I became Group Chief Executive Officer, Savills plc.

I remain client facing and play an active role in the Capital Markets business across many regions. I am also a Trustee of Reading Real Estate Foundation (RREF) and a Member of the BPF Policy Committee.
