Indurent appoints Simon Ross as Head of Portfolio Management

Indurent, a leading developer and operator of industrial and logistics space of all sizes across the UK, has appointed Simon Ross as Head of Portfolio Management. The promotion will also see Simon join Indurent’s Executive leadership team.

In his new role, Simon will oversee all asset and property management activity across Indurent’s 27 million sq ft, 2,700-unit portfolio. This includes industrial and logistics space located across all UK regions and major urban locations and comprises units ranging from 500 sq ft multi-let industrial properties through to logistics assets of over 500,000 sq ft. He will lead a c. 40-person team responsible for leasing, refurbishment and facilities management of Indurent’s portfolio.

As part of the executive team, Simon will also help guide and execute Indurent’s overall business strategy alongside CEO Julian Carey, CFO Tom Olsen, Head of Transactions James Cooper, Head of Development Lee Nash and General Counsel Sarah Bellilchi.

Simon has worked as Deputy Head of Portfolio Management at Indurent since its launch in July, following the completion of the integration of St. Modwen Logistics and Industrials REIT. Prior to this, Simon was Head of Asset Management at Industrials REIT, which he joined in 2017 as part of the acquisition of C2 Capital.

“Having worked closely alongside Simon for almost a decade, I can attest to his outstanding leadership and asset management skills which will be invaluable as we continue to grow our portfolio. His promotion is well deserved and I look forward to working with him as we maximise value through proactive asset management and by providing a high quality customer experience, all supported by our Indurent Hive operating platform.”

I’m excited to have the opportunity to lead this part of the business and to continue working closely with Julian and the wider executive team as we use our unparalleled knowledge of regional dynamics within the logistics sector and our technologically supported platform to deliver on our growth ambitions.”
