Whitney joins Enness from property investment company St Vincents where he managed worldwide operations as well as establishing and managing a commercial debt-broking arm.
He has also worked on an adviser basis for several new commercial finance lenders entering the UK market.
Prior to his role at St Vincents, Whitney spent eight years at NatWest as a finance broker.
Hugh Wade-Jones, director at Enness Private Clients, said: “We have long been aware of Chris and he has an excellent reputation in the prime commercial market. He joins with a commendable pedigree and vast experience, so we are thrilled he will be heading up our commercial arm as we feel that his profile fits our brand perfectly.
“Chris joins a number of new starters at Enness, which shows our continued ambition and desire to keep expanding as a business.
“With an increase in wealth and opportunity at the top end of the property market recently, we see the commercial and development division of the business being a potentially huge growth area for Enness.”
Whitney said: “I am happy to be joining a brokerage like Enness that is going places. It has a strong standing in the high net-worth residential market and I intend to replicate this success in the commercial market.
“As with residential enquiries, demand for commercial property in prime Central London has remained strong despite the wider economic conditions and Enness is well-positioned to capitalise on this in the coming months and years.”
