St. Modwen Logistics, one of the UK’s leading logistics developers and managers, has appointed Gordon Kellie to the newly created role of Head of Portfolio to lead the management of its 12.4m sq ft logistics portfolio and support its UK growth strategy.
Kellie joins at a time of rapid growth for the business, with St. Modwen Logistics developing over 2 million sq ft of sustainable warehouse space in 2022. In the past six months, the company has acquired assets exceeding 1 million sq ft, with plans to further develop out its 22m sq ft strategic land bank, as well as continuing to acquire assets to support its ambitious growth plans.
Kellie, who has over 30 years’ experience in the real estate sector, will join in June from ARA Dunedin, the UK arm of APAC’s largest real estate fund manager ESR group, where he spent twenty years. He brings a wealth of experience, having led on key portfolio management and aggregation strategies predominantly in the industrial and logistics sector, spanning core plus and value-add assets across the UK.
Kellie will lead the asset and property management teams and work closely with Polly Troughton, Managing Director, to drive St. Modwen Logistics’ growth strategy through value creation and performance across the growing platform. His appointment further expands the senior leadership team following the arrival of James Cooper from InfraRed Capital Partners as Head of Transactions in September 2022.
