In January next year, Del Chandler will become the Head of Capital Markets for Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) in DTZ. Del Chandler will base in DTZ’s Warsaw office covering the markets in Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary.

Del Chandler, who has up until now held the position of Managing Director Structured Leasing Services CEE at ING Lease and has been with ING for nearly 17 years, will be taking up his new position at the beginning of 2013. Under the new management, the Investment Advisory Department at DTZ will be providing services to clients in three areas: Capital Markets, Property Finance and Institutional Restructuring Services.

Expansion of the Investment Advisory Department for Central and Eastern Europe will enable us to provide an even greater range of services to our clients on the abovementioned markets and strengthen our position thereon – comments Patrick Delcol, Country Head - Poland DTZ. We are extremely pleased that Del Chandler will be joining our team. His excellent knowledge of the Central and Eastern European markets, as well as his large expertise in providing financial and investment services in that region, will undoubtedly create value for our current and future DTZ customers - concludes Patrick Delcol

For many years I have had the pleasure of doing structured lending real estate deals in the CEE market place. In a market with continued uncertainty and an ever smaller pool of commercial real estate debt at lower than acceptable leverage levels, investors will demand much more from Investment Advisories in the region. As the new Head of Capital Markets for CEE, DTZ will be positioned to provide full investment and debt solutions as the key for opportunistic returns. I look forward to providing a new level of service not yet experienced in the market place – said Del Chandler.
