"To whom it may concern: I would highly recommend the service and support of Rowan Humphreys. His knowledge, network & client care were first class and resulted a very positive outcome for our business. He sourced fitted out premises that matched our brief, and secured a very favorable deal in a challenging market. Certainly Rowan will be the first call I make when another property transaction comes up." Ben Kennedy, Director, CBS Interactive Australia

"Over the past 6 years, Rowan has helped Redback secure 2 offices in Sydney and 1 in Melbourne. He has always been extremely responsive and knowledgeable. Rowan has always exceeded expectations and delivered fantastic value for our business. in our most recent transaction, we had an exceptionally tight timeline and Rowan went above and beyond, securing 1000 M2 of space that fit our brief perfectly. I endorse Rowan wholeheartedly- he's the real deal!" Jeffrey Downs, CEO, Redback Conferencing

“We worked with Rowan in his role at Colliers Tenant Advisory to help Bulletproof with its relocation plans to the Sydney CBD. Despite some challenging circumstances regarding the progress of negotiations before their appointment, Rowan and the Colliers team were able to bring considerable expertise and negotiating skills to bear and deliver some great outcomes for Bulletproof. A further challenge was then presented in the form of Transport for NSW's announcement of compulsory acquisition plans for our just-negotiated lease building as part of the Sydney Metro expansion plans - so it was back to the drawing board. Faced with that challenge, Rowan moved quickly to help source new property options and negotiated hard on our behalf to achieve the best deal possible, including favourable expansion rights. Given the tightening CBD rental market due in part to the Sydney Metro plans, we are extremely happy with the outcome and have been settled into our new CBD office for a couple of months now. Rowan acts as a strong client advocate, is responsive and trustworthy, and his advice and knowledge of the Sydney market are extremely valuable in demonstrable dollar terms. I would recommend Rowan and the Colliers Tenancy Advisory service to anyone trying to negotiate the minefield of the Sydney office market.”  Antony Woodward, Director & CEO, Bulletproof Group Limited

“Faced with prospect of relocating offices after 10 years in the same premises and a multitude of options and considerations, Elizabeth Arden Australia seconded Colliers Tenant Advisory Services representative Rowan Humphreys to spear head the search and negotiations. We briefed Colliers on our requirements, including a customised fit out to suit our business needs, location preferences and budget. Colliers very quickly sourced properties which satisfied the brief and set out to arrange inspections. Once we had identified the desired premises, Rowan promptly proceeded to secure and negotiate the contract terms on our behalf and successfully secured financial savings through negotiation of Lease points, including a reduction in rent and a significant Lease incentive. With the support of Rowan and Colliers, the leasing process was streamlined…It allowed us to get exactly what we wanted, on our terms, without compromising the focus on our own business.” Natalie Sella, General Manager Australia, Elizabeth Arden
