​​John Munday Named CEO of Colliers UK

Posted by Colliers on 5th December 2024 -

Leading global diversified professional services company Colliers announced today that John Munday will be promoted to Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Colliers UK, effective 3 March 2025. Munday will set the strategic direction of the top-tier UK transactional and advisory services business of more than 1,000 employees.  

With 30 years of industry expertise, Munday has rapidly grown businesses that offer diverse property services to clients and advanced the careers of the people within those organisations. He joined Colliers in 2022 as Co-Head of Project & Building Consultancy following the establishment of a strategic partnership with Paragon, one of the UK’s largest independent building and project consultancies, where he was Co-Managing Director.  

“John has an impressive track record of creating successful businesses and leading large teams that have the ability to respond to client needs and market dynamics. I look forward to seeing him imprint his vision to further enhance our UK business and extensive organisation of real estate experts,” said Davoud Amel-Azizpour, CEO, Colliers EMEA.  

Munday will succeed Tony Horrell who has been CEO of Colliers’ UK business for the last 14 years. This follows the announcement in June of his decision to retire, paving the way for a new CEO to lead its next phase of growth. Horrell will remain with Colliers UK and Ireland as a non-executive chairman, supporting clients and business development.  

Tony Horrell said: “Since joining Colliers, John has proved to be an enterprising, connected, and results-driven leader who has accelerated our UK project management and asset enhancement services for investor, owner and occupier clients alike. John and I share a similar work ethic, and I hand over the reins confident that he possesses the right values, business acumen and instincts to lead our geographically diverse and balanced business into a new era of growth. I am pleased to be remaining in the UK and Ireland business as non-executive chairman and look forward to nurturing the deeply invested client relationships I have helped to build over the past 14 years and to continuing to support the business in providing exceptional results for our clients.” 

"I am immensely proud to be appointed the new CEO of Colliers UK, Munday said. “Since joining Colliers in 2022, I have been able to see first-hand, the company's ambitious goal to build a robust and resilient business that is well-positioned for the future. Colliers holds a unique position in the market, and I step into this new role with a passion and commitment to further enhance this proposition with innovative solutions that generate meaningful opportunities for our clients and our people. I am raring to go and looking forward to the journey ahead.” 

Robert Perry, Co-Head of Colliers Project & Building Consultancy (PBC), will take over sole leadership of the PBC service line as Munday steps into his new role.
