JLL has appointed two new members to its industrial team after a record 22% increase in turnover in 2015.
Ross Wigley, who has been with JLL’s office agency team for the past three years, is moving to the industrial side of the business. Hannah Eshelby, who is studying for a real estate management degree, has joined on the graduate scheme and will be with the team for two years.
The industrial team advised on 73 deals last year, amounting to 1.8m sq ft, including the largest speculative industrial scheme seen in Bristol – the new 65-acre business park at the former Rolls-Royce East Works site in Filton.
Giles Weir, director of JLL’s industrial team in Bristol, said: “It’s fantastic to have Ross and Hannah on board as we enter another busy year. The development pipeline is looking healthy with the former Rolls-Royce site in Filton accounting for around 600,000 sq ft of speculative development alone.
“Our work goes far beyond Bristol stretching from Tewkesbury to the north, across into Wiltshire and down to Taunton. We have a strong track record across all markets in this region and the addition of Ross and Hannah to the team will be invaluable in this rising market.”
