Bidwells strengthens logistics team

Property consultancy Bidwells has strengthened its regional industrial and logistics agency team with the appointment of Luke Davenport.

Luke joins after 11 years with Cheffins, where he worked in its commercial team and developed experience across the industrial, mid-tech and open storage sectors.

During his time with the firm, he advised on acquisitions and disposals throughout East Anglia.

At Bidwells, Luke will continue working across the Cambridge market and wider region, with a particular focus on medium and large-scale logistics warehousing.

He will work across a number of major developments, including Symmetry Park Biggleswade, Newlands Park in Huntingdon, Flagship Park Peterborough and Port One Logistics Park at Great Blakenham.

Luke said: “I’m looking forward to joining the team. 

“Having worked closely with Bidwells on numerous joint agency instructions in recent years, the move feels like a natural fit. 

“The team has a leading presence in the regional industrial market and I’m keen to build on my experience within the large-scale warehouse sector and contribute to the continued growth of the Bidwells team and its outstanding projects.”

Luke’s arrival adds further regional experience to Bidwells’ industrial and logistics operation as the consultancy continues to develop its agency offering across the region.

Patrick Stanton, head of industrial and logistics agency at Bidwells, added: “Luke brings strong client relationships, a proven track record and real drive to the team.  

“Over the last five years, we have focused on assembling significant land holdings with landowners and partnering with developers to create some of the most significant logistics parks in the UK. 

“That strategy has delivered remarkable success with over 2000 acres now under developer control across the Cambridge-Oxford arc and A14/A1/M11 growth corridors. 

“This will deliver some 24.5m square feet of logistics and industrial space and now is the right time to expand the team to help drive these schemes forward on behalf of our clients.

“Luke brings all the credentials required to support our continued growth and strengthen our market leading position across the region and our continued expansion into new areas.”
