Looking to optimise on their property and land portfolio, Potter Logistics has appointed a property professional to their management team as Group Property Manager.
Robert Barker, brings with him 27 yearsâ experience within the property industry as a qualified Chartered Surveyor, starting his career in London with Markheath Properties. Robert has joined Potter Logistics from recently working with Creative Space Management and In-Sight Property Solutions - another family firm based in his home town of Leeds.
With developments such as their A1M50 development based at Potter Logistics head office in Ripon and Draco development in the North West Robert will be an integral part of the team to bring these projects forward together with Potterâs joint venture partners.
Robertâs role will also include working alongside Potterâs General Managers supporting them in existing and future property opportunities as well as aiding the Business Development team when attracting new clients to Potter Logistics current property projects.
Robert explains âI started my career as a student on a building site during three consecutive summers and realised I donât like being outside all the time. I like buildings and meeting people that was why I aspired to be a Chartered Surveyor rather than take the traditional construction management route.â
He continues, âPotter Logistics is a great people company. They have a wide range of projects and with this new role I feel it will be a great challenge for me. I am looking forward to getting to know all the sites as well as the staff and being part of the Potter Team.â
