Property consultancy GV&Co has strengthened its industrial agency team with the appointment of Tom Goode as a director.
Tom was previously a partner at Knight Frank in Leeds, where he spent over eight years specialising in industrial property.
With 15 years’ experience in the commercial property market, Tom has advised developers, funds, property companies, private clients, and national and regional occupiers on disposals, acquisitions and development sites.
To date, Tom has advised key clients including Baytree Logistics Properties, Schroders, Columbia Threadneedle Investments, CBRE IM, Firethorn, Cain International and Leeds City Council.
Tom said: “GV&Co has a fantastic reputation across Yorkshire and the North of England as a highly regarded and dynamic consultancy. I’m excited to join the team and support the continued growth of the agency division.
“Despite a backdrop of constant global challenges in recent years, from the pandemic to geopolitical tensions, rising interest rates and ongoing economic uncertainty, the industrial sector remains resilient. Current market conditions present a significant opportunity for developers and landlords, as there is a limited amount of Grade A supply, especially across West Yorkshire, where occupiers have a limited choice of high-quality space.”
Operations director, Kathryn Hodgson, from GV&Co, said: “Tom is a highly regarded industrial property professional with an exceptional track record in Yorkshire and beyond. His experience, market knowledge and client-focused approach make him a perfect fit for our agency team. Tom’s appointment further strengthens our capability to provide expert advice to both landlords and occupiers at every stage of a property transaction.”
