Winfield will oversee a team of 350 expert valuers spanning the commercial property, retail, industrial and residential sectors.

Winfield succeeds John Talbot who after more than 35 years at JLL, will take an extended sabbatical before moving into a senior leadership role.
Winfield has 13 years tenure at JLL, including five years as head of the New Zealand valuations business, providing comprehensive valuation advice covering all sectors, with a speciality in institutional grade retail and commercial assets.
Before joining JLL in 2010, he spent 10 years working in Dunedin, London, and Auckland gaining experience in both the private and public sector.
JLL’s chief executive officer – Australia and New Zealand, Dan Kernaghan said JLL had significantly grown and expanded its team of property valuers across Australia and New Zealand in recent years under John Talbot’s leadership.
‘‘We are delighted to welcome Dale who is a market leader and will continue to lead the growth of our business,’’ Kernaghan said.
‘‘Our value and risk advisory business is well positioned as a full service offering from a single provider across all property investment grades and residential valuations for all asset pricing levels.
‘‘We wish John well with his sabbatical and congratulate Dale on the expanded responsibilities as he takes a strong business into its next phase of growth and transformation.’’
Winfield said the property industry was undergoing rapid change.
‘‘I am excited to leverage my new position to keep expanding the specialist areas of valuations advice we provide in the market, including the continuing growth area of alternative real estate assets.
‘‘I intend to continue our strong growth and maintain our market-leading position as top of the list for our clients to turn to when they need quality advice on how to navigate changing macroeconomic conditions and markets.
‘‘Under John Talbot’s leadership, we have grown our value and risk advisory capabilities and strengthened our team, providing a mix of global insights, local knowledge and real-time data to support our clients.’’
