Newmark has strengthened its Business Rates team with the appointments of Matthew Dolben as Partner and Magdalena Singh as Associate in Birmingham, focused on licensed leisure. The hires reflect Newmark’s strategic focus on the leisure sector, supporting growth across regional markets including Leeds, Cardiff and the Midlands.

Dolben brings more than twenty years of industry experience, specialising in licensed leisure properties including pubs, bars and hotels. Recognised as an authority on the valuation of ‘over-trading’ premises, he also represents clients across industrial, retail and office sectors before the Valuation Tribunal and Upper Chamber.

Singh adds over eight years of experience, with a strong focus on the licensed leisure sector. Her background also includes significant work in the industrial and automotive markets, bringing broad expertise to Newmark’s expanding regional team.

Both join from BNP Paribas Real Estate to enhance Newmark’s national Business Rates capabilities and further reinforce the firm’s expertise in hospitality and leisure sectors.

Emily Roberton, Co-Head of Business Rates at Newmark, said: “The addition of Matthew and Magdalena to our Birmingham office marks an important milestone in the continued growth of our Business Rates team. Their deep sector knowledge and regional insight will be a significant value-add to our leisure-sector mandates. These appointments reflect our commitment to investing in the best talent and expanding our regional strength across the UK.”

Matthew Dolben, Partner, said: “This is an exciting time to join Newmark as it grows its regional presence. I’m looking forward to helping shape the next phase of expansion across our UK markets.”

Magdalena Singh, Associate, added: “Newmark’s focus on collaboration and sector expertise really stood out to me. I’m eager to contribute to our growing leisure portfolio and deliver meaningful results for our clients.”

Together, Dolben and Singh will help drive Newmark’s next phase of growth in the leisure and hospitality markets, delivering strategic valuation and business rates advice to clients across the UK.
