In this role, he will be responsible for developing and maintaining contacts with industrial and logistics customers to meet and implement their requirements for built-to-suit projects. He will also manage the leasing of speculative developments in collaboration with Panattoni's project partners and acquire new land positions.

Stoffelen previously worked as commercial manager for Proptimize, a Dutch asset management, development and advisory firm focused on logistics, industrial and offices.

Commenting on the appointment, Jeroen Gerritsen, general manager of Panattoni Netherlands, said: 'Tim fits perfectly within the character of Panattoni, level-headed, driven and involved in the industrial and logistics sector and everything that happens in it. We combine commercial acumen and the interests of the customer with the aim that everyone is part of the success at the end.'

Last month, Panattoni announced it planned to start work this autumn on its second distribution centre in the Netherlands since launching its Dutch operations late last year.
