"Lease liability portfolios are the legacy of a corporate's past
business strategy. Corporates will make the wrong decision for the
right reasons when left to manage out their own portfolios and it is
our business to provide them with the right exit, one that is finite
and economic."
Alexander has been instrumental in focusing corporates on implications for their lease liability portfolios for the last 15 years. First identifying the issue while working for BET plc in 1992, he went on to found FraserCRE in 1993 to provide a focused service to corporate occupiers with surplus leasehold portfolios - The Reluctant Landlord. He has continued to lead the industry and was Chairman of the Federation of Corporate Real Estate Advisors, an industry body he helped found in 2005.
In his early career, between 1987-1992, Alexander was a partner with Hambros Advanced Technology Trust Plc, a venture capital fund specialising in the technology sector. Their successes included Vodafone [Racal Telecom] and Trafficmaster Plc. Prior to that, he trained as an Architect with Will Alsopp and established his first commercial venture, Starchi and Starchi, a shirt cleaning business, in 1984 whilst still at university.
Alexander stepped down as Chairman of The Queen's Club in September 2007, as which he led the successful Members' Bid to acquire the club from the Lawn Tennis Association in May 2007. Alexander was the Chairman of Victoria plc from 2007 until 2010.
