Charles Okin
Equity Partner
Charlie founded EC&P with Eddie Lesley in 1980 following a period at Strutt & Parker. He's been advising major occupiers, developers, and investors ever since. His extensive experience and track record is unparalleled in the market today.
In his spare time Charlie is an avid kite surfer (in warmer climes at least), he's still to master a double back roll!
Sean Cunningham
Partner
Sean has only ever specialised in the Central London office market and through advising start-ups to Listed REIT’s has developed a passion for intuitive building design and its influence on occupier’s decision making.
Having recently hung up his rugby boots (after a few too many trips to the operating table) golf and cooking now dominate home life, along with a flourishing mid century furniture collection.
Andrew Okin
Equity Partner
Acting for both landlords & tenants, Andrew prides himself on providing future-proof advice with design-led influences, attention to detail and the benefit of over 20 years' experience.
When not in work mode, you'll usually find him at the gym, watching football or looking in the mirror!
Nick Jones
Partner
Nick leads our Lease Advisory team having joined from BNPPRE in 2016. He assists clients with lease negotiations, including rent review, lease restructuring and asset/operational strategy.
When he gets a chance he loves skiing and playing squash. He also serves up a mean American BBQ to anyone willing to be experimented upon.
Craig Norton
Equity Partner
Craig joined EC&P in 2018 from Cushman & Wakefield where he headed the West End office agency team. Craig loves being at the coalface and applying his 20 plus years of experience in all aspect of the role from, Design Development advice, to marketing and leasing office space.
Craig has spent years trying to emulate Roger Federer on court, plenty of work still to do! and is a recent Peleton convert. He is at his happiest when cooking up an outdoor feast for his family and friends.
Ian Bradshaw
Partner
Working for a niche practice on a diverse client portfolio and estates, has given Ian a wholisitc view of the property lifecycle. He's passionate about Design, Wellbeing, Sustainability & CRE Tech agendas, employing them early and often on the projects he works on.
An accomplised sportsman prior to his property career, he's now taken up golf (during the pandemic) and fears he will never fix his slice or stop three putting. After a round, there's always time for a braai and reminding everyone who the current Rugby World Champs are.
Mark Phillips
Equity Partner
Mark joined ECP over 35 years ago after being introduced to Charlie following a cricket match. His client base is varied from private investors to plc’s and Mark’s particular interest is working on development opportunities from inception through to the delivery process. One such scheme is a mixed use development of 350,000 sq ft for Groveworld in Kings Cross.
Out of the office Mark will either be walking his 3 dogs or playing golf, or better still, combining both pursuits.
Jamie Shuttle
Equity Partner
Jamie joined way back in 1999. Consciously working on both innovative development & leasing projects for owners, and occupiers too, with the aim being to give balanced, objective advice.
The Great Outdoors has always been a passion. Currently obsessed with wild swimming & bike packing adventure.
Ollie Mitchell
Surveyor
Ollie has brought youth, exuberance and an eagerness to learn with him following a non-cog degree at University. With a passion for sustainability, marketing and design which he will apply to his role in the Central London Office Market.
He claims if it were not for a knee injury, he would have been a pro rugby player, we will have to take his word for that. He now spends his free time re-injuring his knee and causing the ECP medical insurance premiums to go through the roof. He’s always keen to nurture relationships on the golf course and will try persuade anyone who will listen, why Eddie Jones shouldn’t have been sacked as England head coach.
Ted Polkey
Associate Partner
Ted joined us from Gerald Eve and has over 8 years’ experience in some of London’s largest and most complex rental disputes. He focuses primarily on rent reviews, lease renewals and lease regears. But is enjoying working as an integrated hand in glove team alongside the agency department.
Outside the office he is a keen cook as well as an avid rugby fan. He's also taken to padel, with his first victory made all the sweeter following a long and enduring introduction to the sport.
Amy Skidmore
Senior Surveyor
Amy is our newest joiner, previously from Avison Young in their City agency team where she completed her RICS accreditation. She quickly gained experience on larger assets across the square mile, for a diverse client base. She’s looking forward to applying her strong foundation in Real Estate into the West End market. Working on some exciting up and coming projects.
In her spare time, she enjoys visiting her family in Scotland. She’s one of the founding members of the property running club. It’s a casual affair taken at talking pace, good for catching up on all the market gossip. Do get in touch with her if you’d like to get involved.
