Knight Frank Appoints Mike Knowles as Head of Lettings Business Development

Knight Frank has appointed Mike Knowles to the newly created board-level position of Head of Lettings Business Development. The role will bring together the company’s Lettings Completion Solutions, Relocation and Corporate Services, and Short Lets functions under a single structure.

According to The Negotiator, this new structure is designed to drive greater efficiency and collaboration across Knight Frank’s lettings teams. Knowles will join Knight Frank on 13th July and will also become a member of the lettings board.

Mike Knowles joins Knight Frank from CBRE, where he spent the past 12 years, most recently as Head of Residential Agency. The appointment is part of Knight Frank’s strategy to align teams and opportunities across its lettings business.

For UK letting agents and inventory clerks, this move signals a focus on improved efficiency and a more unified approach within Knight Frank’s lettings operations. The integration of multiple lettings functions under one leadership role may impact processes and collaboration across the company’s residential lettings services.
