JLL’s Greg Pike is transitioning to new role as National Head of Industrial Brokerage Services, which will include growing institutional leasing on a national level, connecting JLL’s industrial brokerage teams around the country. 

Greg has over 17 years of industrial property experience. He was recently appointed as a board member of uTenant. 

uTenant is a technology platform that connects tenants and landlords of industrial property directly for industrial property leasing, with JLL signing as a major shareholder in March 2021. 

JLL’s Matt Lee has been appointed to a new role as National Head of Industrial Occupier Services, where he will manage JLL’s supply chain and logistics business, occupier services and strengthen data centres.

Matt joined JLL in 2018 having over 15 years’ experience in industrial property, with a focus on occupier services. Matt has a detailed understanding of the data centre market and an extensive track record in this space and will take the lead on data centres on a national level.

Head of Industrial & Logistics Agency - Australia, Peter Blade said, “We are excited to announce the recent appointments of Greg Pike and Matt Lee, reinforcing our long-term growth strategy in our National Industrial agency platform. Demand within the industrial and logistics sector has grown at a rapid rate, and JLL’s team has expanded accordingly. These two distinct appointments will strengthen our business lines, brokerage, supply chain, and agency in our industrial and logistics business.

“With a clear vision at every angle, we plan to double the size of our National Industrial agency team based upon client and customer demand. With this growth, we aim to bolt on additional services to ensure we are meeting the needs of our clients and continue to grow our industrial market share.
