Doug Tweedie

My background is predominantly within the retail and leisure sector, having advised landlords, investors and developers on a wide range of UK wide transactions since 2005. I have also provided strategic acquisition and disposal advice to widely known occupiers such as Apple, Vodafone, Starbucks, One Stop, Wolseley, Barclays, Cash Access UK and a host of other national and regional names. Previously I was Head of Midlands Retail & Leisure at Cushman & Wakefield, where the Birmingham based team had some huge successes, most notably the retention of EGi’s most active agent award for 5 consecutive years. Clients I have work particularly close with include LCP, M&G, Wesleyan, Bruntwood, Cala Homes, Calthorpe Estates, Heimstaden, Starbucks and Goodstone Living. Standout career transactions include the investment acquisition of Gracechurch Shopping Centre Sutton Coldfield, Exchange Buildings New Street Birmingham, The School Yard Harborne, and high-profile leasing transactions including Flight Club Temple Street Birmingham, Cotswold Company Leamington Spa, Tesco Express Hagley Road Birmingham, Koi Ki Harborne and Coffee #1 Moseley.

Opening FHP’s Birmingham office 5 years ago was an immense challenge and despite the headwinds we have faced over the years, has been extremely rewarding. Driving the strategic direction of the office and advising the calibre of landlords and occupiers, we are proud to call clients is extremely rewarding, as is seeing talented surveyors such as Oliver Daniels join the business, and growing through the experiences we are able to provide.

I like to keep myself busy, and have numerous sporting and leisure interests which include Birmingham Moseley Rugby Club (where FHP are proud supporters), football, together with golf and hill walking which tie in nicely with my love for travel particularly to places such as Scotland, Portugal and the Austrian Alps.
