Our Director
Ben Suffolk
With over 15 years’ experience Ben had always worked in house for restaurant and leisure brands until setting up Custom Real Estate in 2022.
Ben’s career highlights include working as Property Director for Le Pain Quotidien, covering the U.S., U.K., and Europe, being responsible for growing Coco di Mama in Central London with its founders, the Azzurri Group and Bridgepoint. He was also responsible for opening the first McDonald’s Delivery Kitchen in the world at the nascent stages of that market, then was instrumental in developing, refining and rolling out the format across the UK.
From his own experience it was clear to Ben that access to knowledgeable and flexible, senior, resource was a significant barrier for businesses.
Custom Real Estate was founded to offer immediate senior property resource without the overhead and restriction that comes with permanent employment.
Custom Real Estate is here to offer property expertise to you and your team in a way that works for you.
