Colliers industrial experts Gordon Code and Hugh Gilbert have been promoted to newly created leadership roles within the Victorian business, stepping into the roles of Joint Head of the Victorian Industrial Business.

The promotion will assist the Victorian industrial team to further engage with key clients and collaborate with the national business on a more coordinated basis. Hugh and Gordon will continue to be based in Melbourne and report to Colliers Australia’s Managing Director Industrial Gavin Bishop.

“Gordon and Hugh have made a significant contribution to our Victorian business and have led by example in growing market share, creating a great team culture, and growing our revenue to a record level in 2022,” Mr Bishop said.

“A large contributor to the team’s success is how they have developed a business plan built around data and all team members knowing their markets extremely well and being able to deliver a market presence concisely and professionally, which has provided a significant point of difference to our Victorian Industrial Team. I look forward to seeing this evolve further under the leadership of Gordon and Hugh.”

“Colliers Jonathan Mercuri and Nick Saunders will continue to operate and lead their respective Industrial teams within the Melbourne East and North West offices, while Gordon and Hugh will spend more time driving national initiatives with our national occupier and capital markets teams,” added Mr Bishop.

Hugh Gilbert said, “This new role gives Gordon and I the platform to engage private and institutional clients at a Victorian level, as opposed to a sub-market level. We will use this opportunity to bring the whole team together to service our clients even better.”

Mr Code continues, “A focus for us will be further innovate our data platforms, rolling out our new SA1 partnership to engage with the market on a more meaningful basis as we move forward in our growth strategy.”

“The market has become more sophisticated and competitive since I entered the industry nine years ago, with clients demanding better advice on current and future market conditions. With everything the market has experienced in recent years, the industrial sector is a very exciting space to be in,” Mr Code concluded.
