Logicor boosts UK team with two new hires, as development pipeline continues to grow

Logicor, a leading owner, manager and developer of logistics real estate in Europe, has announced the appointment of two new hires to its UK Asset Management team. The appointments mark Logicor’s strong commitment to accelerate its development pipeline across the UK, with continued growth anticipated for the year ahead.

Michaela Chidgey will join as Project Manager, and she will be supporting the delivery of Logicor’s development pipeline in the UK, streamlining the business’ collaboration between technical and asset management teams to drive consistency of service delivery and quality across Logicor’s UK portfolio.

Logicor currently owns and manages over 32 million sq ft across 176 high-quality distribution locations in the UK with further developments underway including Logicor Park Daventry, Derby 507, Bolton 330 and Logicor Park Dartford set to deliver additional 1.7m sq ft of premium warehouse and logistics space over the next months.

Michaela joins from Savills where she was an Associate Director in the Building and Project Consultancy team. Michaela will work with Matthew Storr, Director of Project Management and Sam Towers, Technical Director of Logicor.

Michaela has specialized in project management for both new-build developments and refurbishments, where her primary focus lied within the industrial and logistics sector. She has extensive experience of managing projects throughout the development cycle, from feasibility study and technical due diligence for acquisition, through to managing the design, planning and construction phases.

Logicor also recently recruited Rachel Boorer to join its UK Asset Management Team as an Analyst. Rachel previously worked at CBRE as a Surveyor. Like Michaela, Rachel will be based in Logicor’s London HQ, and will work with the whole UK Asset Management team.

Charlie Howard, MD for Logicor UK, says: "We are absolutely delighted to welcome Michaela and Rachel to our UK Asset Management Team. Michaela has great experience and a fabulous reputation in the delivery of industrial and logistics buildings having worked in the successful Project Management team at Savills for many years. She joins at a very exciting time at Logicor as we continue to grow our development activities in the UK.

“Rachel has benefitted from experience in both the Valuation and Industrial and Logistics teams at CBRE and is another brilliant addition to the UK team.”
