Independence defines McCalmont-Woods.

I founded McCalmont-Woods Real Estate in 2008 as an independent tenant representation agency to champion the interests of corporate occupiers. We operate in the UK's prime real estate locations (including London's West End, City of London and Docklands CBDs) and focus on the acquisition and disposal of office premises and the provision of Landlord & Tenant related (lease advisory) advice to corporate clients ranging from small start-ups to leading global brands.

Since McCalmont-Woods was founded over 10 years ago, the business has provided independent advice on in excess of £300 million rental commitments to corporate clients across London's prime office locations and beyond. I have a passion for helping corporate clients to grow their businesses and increase profitability and have over 35 years experience representing business space users. McCalmont-Woods is regulated by RICS.

Founding Partner Nick McCalmont-Woods has over 35 years experience representing corporate occupiers.

On joining international real estate consultants Jones Lang Wootton in London in 1984 he specialised initially in Landlord & Tenant and various property related tax matters before transferring to JLW’s City Offices Agency team in 1987. He was made Associate in 1993 and Partner in 1995, remaining with the firm for 16 years. Nick joined GVA Grimley in 2000 to help develop and grow GVA’s City office which he did. He was made an Equity Partner in 2001 and while at GVA, he co-founded GVA Connect, a successful advisory business for data centres.

In early 2008 Nick founded McCalmont-Woods as an independent specialist real estate agency focussed exclusively on representing corporate occupiers across the UK’s prime office locations.

Nick is a member of RICS since 1985 and a member of Institute of Directors since 2011. He co-founded the Tenant Representation Advisors Society (TRADS) which launched in London in 2016 and serves on the Society’s management committee, organising a programme of events to support members’ continuing professional development. He is also a member of Fides, a trusted independent managed services network focussed on supporting the private equity industry and its key stakeholders.

During the course of his career Nick has advised a long list of 'blue-chip' occupiers including Aon, BT, Cable & Wireless, DONG Energy, J.P.Morgan, Marketform, Newsquest, Prudential, SunGard, TATA Communications, Trinity Mirror and UBS/Warburg Dillon Read amongst many others.
