Savills Australia has announced a change to its Melbourne-based retail services division.
Valuer Damien Abela has been appointed to the role of executive – retail services.
Mr Abela has previously worked in a boutique firm focusing on retail and commercial rental valuations after graduating with honours from RMIT.
