Jones Lang LaSalle has been providing global real estate services to GSK for over 10 years, alongside other service providers. The mandate include consulting, transactions, and other professional services as well as the management of vacant and sub-let properties.

'Jones Lang LaSalle put together a competitive bid that identified them as the best fit for GSK moving forward in a single provider model,' said Sue Pictor, director of global real estate at GlaxoSmithKline.

The announcement follows recent global appointments for Jones Lang LaSalle Corporate Solutions including mandates from Volvo Cars Corporation, UBS, HSBC, and Doosan Power Systems.
