Speaking on his appointment, Mr Adgemis said, "I am delighted to return to JLL and take on this new role. JLL is a fantastic organisation and I am excited to be part of the culture they’ve been fostering within their Industrial & Logistics team in recent times. The vision of establishing a world class team within this sector was too exciting an opportunity to pass up, and I look forward to working alongside the talented professionals within the broader business.”
