The Industrial and Distribution team at the Midlands office of leading real estate adviser GVA has bolstered its team with the appointment of Associate, Luke Thacker.

Luke, who joined GVA in 2005 as a graduate in the Restructuring and Recovery business unit, has transferred to the Industrial team as an Associate and will be working on a number of significant industrial schemes, including Fradley Park, Lichfield, and Solihull’s Solar Park.

Luke Thacker said: “Having worked in Restructuring and Recovery, I’ve picked up experience across most real estate markets, so I’ve come into this role with a good background understanding of the industrial sector.

“With increasing demand and diminishing levels of good quality stock, there is potential for the remainder of this year to be exceedingly busy and I’m looking forward to the challenges and opportunities of the industrial market.”

David Willmer, Senior Director and National Head of Industrial and Distribution, said: “While the first few months of the year were very steady, we’ve seen a strong upswing in activity with rising levels of demand for good quality stock of all sizes.

“Luke’s appointment to the team is a reflection of this improving market and demonstrates our commitment to ensuring that we have the right team in place to grow our business and ensure delivery of the highest standard of service to our clients.”
