Three-Time MotoGP Winner Cal Crutchlow to Head Up Allsopp & Allsopp’s New Sports and Talent Advisory Division

Dubai, UAE, Monday 2nd November - Allsopp & Allsopp has announced the launch of their new division, Sports and Talent Advisory, dedicated to supporting professional athletes, elite performers and their families as they relocate to Dubai and invest in the city. The division will be led by three-time MotoGP race winner Cal Crutchlow, who joins Allsopp & Allsopp in his first role since retiring from full-time competition.

This is a first for the Dubai property market. Athletes and high-profile talent have been relocating to the city and investing in its property market in growing numbers for years, but until now, no real estate advisory has built a dedicated, specialist service around what that actually takes. Allsopp & Allsopp have spotted the gap and built Sports and Talent Advisory to fill it, pairing serious property expertise with a genuine understanding of what it means to relocate a high-performance career and a family at the same time, or simply to invest with confidence in a market they may not be based in full-time.

This isn't a new relationship - Allsopp & Allsopp has already sold property to and guided a number of Premier League footballers through their own relocations to Dubai, giving the business a genuine track record with exactly the kind of client this division is built for, long before Sports and Talent Advisory had a name.

The division will support clients across property search and acquisition, school placement, private banking and residency requirements including Golden Visa eligibility, insurance, and the wider logistics of settling a family into life in Dubai, alongside guidance on the commercial and lifestyle opportunities the city offers professional athletes and their representatives. For clients who see Dubai property as an investment rather than, or alongside, a place to live, the division also identifies opportunities and manages them on the client's behalf, so the relationship doesn't end once a purchase is made. The service is built around the understanding that a decision of this kind is rarely just about property, it touches a client's career, family, finances and long-term plans all at once.

Cal Crutchlow, Head of Sports and Talent Advisory at Allsopp & Allsopp, said: "I went through this exact process myself, trying to work out how to move a family and a career to a new country at the same time, and there wasn't anyone who properly understood both sides of it. That's exactly what we've built here. This isn't only about relocation either, we can help clients spot and manage genuine investment opportunities in Dubai too, whether they're moving here or not. I want this division to be the first call for any athlete or high-profile talent thinking about Dubai, in whatever capacity."

Lewis Allsopp, Chairman of Allsopp & Allsopp, said: "We noticed this gap through the number of athletes and high-profile clients already coming to us for help outside our usual scope, and it made sense to build something dedicated to them rather than keep treating it as an exception. Cal understands this audience from the inside, and that's exactly who we wanted leading it."
