CB Richard Ellis’ Cross-Border Industrial and Logistics team has been appointed by DHL Exel Supply Chain (DESC), Europe’s largest global supplier of logistics services, to exclusively support their expansion programme across Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA).
DESC is the recognised global leader in contract logistics operating from more than 800 strategic locations, totaling 11 million square meters of managed space in Europe alone.
This significant contract win reflects CBRE’s unique ability to deliver market-responsive knowledge in the current market. This position was strengthened by the strategic alignment earlier this year of the investment, leasing and development arms of CBRE’s Cross-Border Industrial and Logistics team, creating a fully integrated international service which fulfils the needs of clients as both investors and occupiers.
The CBRE team that secured the assignment was led by Head of EMEA Industrial and Logistics, Guy Frampton. Speaking about the appointment, Guy Frampton, Head of EMEA Industrial and Logistics for CB Richard Ellis, said: "A cross-border and integrated approach is essential to successful real estate advice in the current market, in the industrial and logistics sector and indeed all property sectors. Our tenant representation model and comprehensive sector coverage throughout the region was critical to our successful appointment by DHL/Exel Supply Chain."
Robert Aubrey, Head of Warehouse & Industrial Department, CB Richard Ellis, Russia, comments: "We look forward to continue our work with DHL here in Russia. In addition to our role as Asset and Facilities managers of DHL’s Pushkino location we have worked closely with their local as well as their UK based real estate teams in evaluating various opportunities over the last year".
