26 October 2026

Knight Frank Promise has announced the appointment of Jason Taylor as Managing Director from April 2027.

Currently serving as Head of Commercial Facilities Management, Taylor has made a significant impact on the business to date. We look forward to him bringing his deep understanding of clients, people and the Promise culture to his new role, with his extensive industry experience placing him exceptionally well to support the company as it heads into its next chapter.

Taylor will officially take up the role from April 2027, succeeding Anthony Watson upon his retirement. Over the coming months Taylor and Watson will work closely with the wider leadership team to ensure a smooth handover, continuing to support colleagues and clients, and building on the success that has been achieved together.

Jason Taylor, Head of Commercial FM at Knight Frank Promise, said: “This is a business I care deeply about and has been a huge part of my life for the last 15 years.” 

Taylor continued: “During that time, I've had the opportunity to work alongside extraordinary people across Promise, and I know first-hand the talent, expertise and commitment that exists throughout our teams. That gives me enormous confidence in our future.”

Taylor added: “Over the last seven years, Anthony Watson has led the growth of Promise into an exceptional award-winning business, created a culture that people are proud to be part of, and established foundations that position us strongly for the future”.
