Graham Pardoe, currently senior development director, joined Goodman in April 2007 with Goodman Group's acquisition of Rosemound, a logistics development business which he co-founded. Pardoe has 17 years' experience in the property industry primarily covering the areas of development and fund management.
Goodman UK has £500 mln (EUR 568.7 mln) of logistics assets and development land directly invested in the UK and £1.8 bn of total assets under management across 42 sites. The group has a high-quality land bank with over 1,200 acres of land primarily in the Midlands and south east England, across prime sites including Andover, Heathrow, Derby and Kingsnorth.
The focus on the team moving forward will be to leverage the opportunity presented with Goodman's significant land bank, coupled with the £400 mln co-investment vehicle announced with CB Richard Ellis Realty Trust in June. The joint venture will help the Group to facilitate the ongoing expansion of Goodman’s logistics business via the acquisition of high quality pre committed logistics development opportunities utilising the existing land bank.
