Blackstone’s European last-mile logistics platform Mileway has hired country heads for its operations in France, Germany and the Nordics, from the likes of SEGRO and Verdion.
Fabien Fridrici, former regional director for France at SEGRO, has joined Mileway as France country head. He was at SEGRO for 10 years. His previous roles also include head of industrial assets at JLL, which he held for seven years from 2003.
Georg Starck has joined as Germany country head, having most recently served as chief investment officer at Verdion. Starck has also previously worked at Schroder Property Investment Management, ING Real Estate Investment Management and Alpha Industrial.
Tomas Beck will lead Mileway’s business across Denmark, Finland and Sweden as Nordics country head. Before joining Mileway, he led the Nordic business at Cromwell Property Group.
Prior to that, Beck was responsible for the real estate portfolio at First Swedish National Pension Fund AP1, and he has also held roles with Norwegian insurance group Storebrand and GE Real Estate. He began his career with DTZ.
Emmanuel Van der Stichele, chief executive of Mileway, said: “Fabien, Georg and Tomas all have extensive and varied experience in logistics real estate and will bring deep, market-specific knowledge to Mileway as we continue to expand our business across Europe.
“We see demand from occupiers for last-mile logistics real estate continue to grow as they seek to get closer to their customers and enable faster and more efficient delivery.”
Mileway, which launched in September last year, owns and operates 1,300 last-mile assets comprising more than 10.7m sq m of space globally.
