I have followed SLB's rising profile and business growth with keen interest and have been impressed with their trajectory in the sale leaseback arena."

Stephen Cheng, Partner at SLB, commented "SLB Capital Advisors operates at the convergence of real estate and corporate finance. Rowland's background and expertise in both areas fit perfectly with our team and will prove invaluable as we continue to deliver on our commitment to corporate real estate users."
