The independent building consultancy established by ex-CBRE colleagues in 2015 has added its ninth member of staff, Kathryn Stewart, joining from Colliers International as associate director.

Stewart said: “Black Cat are quite unique and have brought something which is new and very transparent to the profession. The team are very enthusiastic, dynamic and entrepreneurial and I am looking forward to working with them.”
