Matt Short Associate Director, Transaction Management

Location: Hong Kong

Years with the company: Five

Notable industry achievement: Acting as a mentor to Reading University students to help prepare them for entering the real estate industry. It’s great to see many of the students on the programme go on to have successful careers. Secondly, operating as a broker in the Shanghai real estate market and working on several high-profile transactions was a terrific experience. What hobbies do you enjoy in your personal time? My weekends are usually filled with playing football and golf. When I’m not playing either of these sports, I can be found on one of Hong Kong’s beaches or hiking trails, and I’ve recently taken up wakeboarding. What would people be surprised to learn about you? I rowed the length of the River Thames with a couple of friends in aid of Leukemia and Lymphoma Research. We greatly underestimated the challenge and ended up rowing for 16 hours a day for three days, however it was worth the effort and we raised £4,000 for charity.
