Following the merger of Cushman & Wakefield and DTZ, extensive work has been going on throughout Europe to identify and select Affiliate partners in the countries with no wholly owned company representation. In the Nordic countries there has been two companies in each country representing either formerly DTZ or Cushman & Wakefield.
 
Cushman & Wakefield has now selected Affiliates who have extensive local market knowledge, a great interest in working together across borders in the Nordic region for the benefit of clients and the capability to service requirements coming through the global Cushman & Wakefield network. Now a three month period of formalities and rebranding the businesses will follow.
 
The selected companies in each country;

Norway: DTZ Realkapital AS which will shortly be renamed Cushman & Wakefield
Denmark: RED Property Advisers which will shortly be renamed RED | Cushman & Wakefield
Finland: DTZ Finland which will shortly be renamed Cushman & Wakefield.
 
- We want to grow in the regions where we are already strong and where we also see great growth potential. The Nordic region is one such region. The deep local and global market knowledge that Cushman & Wakefield now offers, together with our selected Affiliates in Denmark, Norway and Finland, is creating a platform that provides significant value to our clients, said John Forrester, Chief Executive EMEA, Cushman & Wakefield.

- We have a Nordic focus because many of our clients have this. The combined expertise of Cushman & Wakefield's offices and employees in the Nordic region, will directly benefit our clients. Individually, every employee is an expert in their field - together we are an absolutely outstanding team. The common denominator is a strong bias for action and a rigorous focus on results. These companies of different backgrounds, cultures and knowledge come together to create opportunities and new ideas in the Nordic region, says Agneta Jacobsson, Head of Sweden and the Nordics, Cushman & Wakefield.
