Tim Wheeler, Brixton's Chief Executive, commented: "I am delighted that Steve has agreed to join Brixton. This is an important appointment and I believe Steve will play a significant role in our pursuit of excellence in both our established roles and in the expansion of our business into new areas through the enhancement of relationships with key occupiers."

This move creates a new platform for our future association to develop. I wish Steve every success in his new role at Brixton."
