Savills Malaysia has hired Dougie Crichton as head of asset management for its Malaysia business.
Crichton joins the international real estate manager from HSBC and has 20 years of experience in real estate in south east Asia. Prior to that, Crichton had stints at Farpoint, the Pamfleet Group and Hongkong Land.
Savills IM is looking to build on its presence in Asia and hired Alex Jeffrey as its Singapore-based global chief executive in October 2019.
Jeffrey commented: “[Crichton’s] expertise will be invaluable as we continue to develop our proposition for investment in the APAC region and especially for our clients in Malaysia.
“He will work closely with our affiliated colleagues in Savills Malaysia,” added Jeffrey.
