Jack Hudson

Spear’s Review

Having studied law at the University of Manchester, Jack Hudson began his real estate career in his hometown of Bristol in 2012. After a stint at Marsh & Parsons in London, he joined CBRE in 2014.

He has since moved up the ranks, from a residential development and investment broker to a project director specialising in advising developers such as Barratt London, Almacantar and Peabody on land acquisitions. He is now a private-client-focused director who advises HNWs and UHNWs on the search, acquisition and, occasionally, disposal of super-prime property.

Hudson tells Spear’s that CBRE’s USP is simple – it is discreet. ‘[Our] clients really want a high degree of confidentiality; they don’t want digital footprints,’ he says. He adds that the firm’s ability to search off-market is due to the fact that it is a small and nimble boutique team ‘bolted into the largest real estate company in the world’. 

‘You get the best of both worlds,’ he says.

Adviser Profile

Jack is a Director in CBRE’s Private Office, the world’s largest real estate company, advising UHNW clients on the acquisition and disposal of super prime assets across the UK and beyond. 

Jack has enjoyed a varied career spanning over a decade in the prime property market; from investment brokerage to development consultancy, where he led the campaigns for some of London’s premier developments, with a gross development value in excess of £1 billion. 

He is the co-chair of CBRE’s Global Wealth Network – a sector agnostic group with a focus on UHNW clients. 

Originally studying Law, Jack is now a qualified RICS surveyor. ‘I am fiercely diligent and analytical, ensuring I leave no stone unturned on behalf of my clients,’ he says.
