Your warehouse: cubic capacity counts
Learn how to optimise your warehouse property at the Tomorrow’s Warehouse Coventry event on May 14 at the CBS Arena.
THE EVENT will explore lessons learned through cutting-edge insights and real-life applications.
We are delighted to announce that Claire Williams (Head of UK and Industrial Research, Knight Frank) will present on its Future Gazing research. This emphasises the need for investors, developers and landlords to look closely at the cubic capacity of their industrial and logistics stock as a means to attract and keep tenants, avoid obsolescence and increase returns. As land and labour costs continue to rise, Claire Williams delves into this research to share insights on warehouse property as occupiers move to minimise costs while maximising operational efficiency.
Claire is an accomplished real estate research professional who specialises in analysing trends within the logistics property market, spanning both the UK and Europe.
Defence
Andrew Blennerhassett (Associate Director, Savills) will focus on the, sadly, important issue of Defence, dealing with Rising Defence Spending and its Impact on Warehouse Property.
Rising geopolitical risk and Europe’s shift toward higher defence spending are set to reshape the warehouse property market. Increased defence budgets will accelerate demand for specialised assets such as advanced manufacturing facilities and logistics hubs. Savills estimates NATO commitments could drive 37 million sq m of new industrial and logistics demand in Europe over seven years. Here, Andrew Blennerhasset discusses demand shifts, evolving investor attitudes and broader impact on the warehouse property market.
The Future of Logistics Development
On the developer side, Jake Howard (Associate Development Director, Tritax Big Box) will talk about how the specification for logistics facilities has evolved over time and how Tritax Big Box sees property continuing to evolve to meet the sector’s needs in the future. Jake will back up learnings with case studies illustrating how Tritax works with clients to accommodate their requirements. Expect practical insights, market perspective, and a glimpse into what tomorrow’s logistics developments will really look like.
The session finishes with a discussion panel with the presenters… So rock up with your operational questions and get experts to answer them.
The event is a great opportunity to network and learn as warehouse transformation continues to be a key priority for many companies, large and small, up and down the land.
Entry, food and parking are all free.
