Pan-European logistics real estate owner, investor and developer Delin Capital Asset Management (DCAM) has appointed Steve Mitchell as UK commercial director.
Based in DCAM’s London office, Mitchell will work alongside Don Bailey, with responsibility for developing occupier relationships and generating new stakeholder ties, as part of a strategic plan to grow the company's UK logistics portfolio to over three million ft2 in the next two years.
'With an ambitious development pipeline in the UK during 2018, Steve brings significant commercial experience operating in the logistics real estate sector, in what is a key geography for DCAM,' commented Ekaterina Avdonina, managing director of DCAM.
'We look forward to leveraging the relationships he has built with some of UK’s leading occupiers, which will complement those of the rest of the UK team and in an area which is increasingly important in today’s market.'
Prior to joining DCAM, Mitchell spent 14 years at Colliers International overseeing its industrial transactions activity. Before that he spent 15 years supporting Sainsbury’s as it built a UK-wide logistics real estate portfolio.
The appointment will add further expertise to DCAM’s UK team following the appointment of Bailey last year as UK development director, with more than 20 years’ logistics experience.
Earlier this month, DCAM told PropertyEU it was targeting a committed development pipeline of 900,000 m2 across the Netherlands, plus the new markets of the UK and Spain by 2019.
