Simon Davidson

Simon is Director of Strategic Land at Hadley and a highly experienced property professional with 35-plus years in the industry. He is a Fellow of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors and a Registered Property Receiver. Simon spent many years as a residential valuations expert before turning to investment agency work, then focussing on receivership following the 2008 downturn.

Professional highlights include the sale of £205M residential investment portfolio and being the lead receiver and seller of over £500m of distressed assets in the GFC, along with more recent complex site acquisitions such as IQLN in Stratford for £50m+ and the former GSK global headquarters in Brentford for £60M+.

Before joining Hadley, Simon worked in Islington, overseeing Currell’s commercial and land divisions. As well as growing the business by 50% over three years, he also became very familiar with the vast majority of north and east London.

Having led site acquisition at Hadley since 2016, his ability to source and deliver complex, large-scale, strategic sites has helped position Hadley as a multi-disciplined urban regeneration specialist.
