London retail property advisor Nash Bond and US retail specialist SCG Retail, the Urban Division of The Shopping Center Group, are teaming up to create an international retail network, The Global Retail Group. The founders aim to create a global network of retail property advisors who can offer retailers and landlord clients best-in-class service, knowledge, experience and access to key markets.

Nash Bond’s head of agency Cameron Scott (shown left) will be joint managing director of the new company with The Shopping Centre Group’s co-chief executive David Birnbrey (shown right). Cameron said they plan to add partners in due course.

David tells us they intend to invite other market-leading practices in key global locations to join the group. They're already in discussions with a number of similar retail-focused advisory firms.
