Robbie Lord and Emily Mason both join as senior surveyors. Robbie returns to JLL from Arrow Capital Partners, and Emily moves from the EMEA hotels and hospitality division. George Wilford joins as a newly qualified surveyor.
According to the latest research from JLL over the course of 2025 around £8.7 bn was invested into the UK industrial and logistics market which was 24% up on the previous year.
