Charter Hall Direct Property has appointed Brendan Cannon as its Key Account Manager for Western Australia and Queensland; two of the business’ growth markets.
In his new role, Mr Cannon is the primary contact for financial advisers in Western Australia and Queensland where he will be responsible for communicating the business’ offering in these markets and servicing and keeping the financial advisers and investors up-to-date on property markets. Mr Cannon joined Charter Hall in 2007 as Development Manager for the Group’s Brisbane operations.
Mr Richard Stacker, CEO of Charter Hall Direct Property said: “Brendan’s excellent relationships with the business community in Western Australia and Queensland, coupled with his knowledge and experience in property, means he is a great asset to the Direct Property business.
“Charter Hall is very positive about the opportunity in these two growth states, having historically had a solid support base for our previously launched property funds and having seen very good inflow of equity in our recent office fund offerings, including strong initial demand for our industrial fund,” Mr Stacker added.
Mr Cannon said: “I am excited to extend my four years with Charter Hall into the Direct Property business at a time when the property sector is showing early signs of what we expect will be a strong recovery phase. We are seeing increased investor interest in our high quality products and I look forward to working across Western Australian and Queensland – two states in which I represented in rugby for over eight years.”
Mr Cannon will be Master of Ceremonies at the Charter Hall Investor Forum, available to the more than 50,000 retail investors, to be held in September across all Australian states.
Mr Cannon is well known for his contribution to Australian Ruby Union having represented Australia in 42 Test Caps, 106 Super Rugby games and also his insightful commentary on Fox Sports.
