Sirius strengthens leadership team with senior hire from Shurgard

 

Tom Lampard appointed to capitalise on self storage opportunity in UK &
Germany

 

Sirius Real Estate, the leading owner and operator of branded business and
industrial parks providing conventional space and flexible workspace in
Germany and the U.K., announces the appointment of Tom Lampard as Property
Director - Self Storage, assuming a key role on the BizSpace management board
with a remit covering the U.K. and German markets.

 

Tom will be joining BizSpace from Shurgard Self Storage where he is Real
Estate Director overseeing the South East of England and Manchester markets.
He joined Shurgard in 2024 when it acquired Lok'nStore Group plc, where he
held senior leadership roles over a 12-year tenure.

 

Tom resigned in October of last year and is currently working out his notice
period with Shurgard. He is due to arrive at BizSpace once he has completed
his notice period as well as any other contractual restrictions enforced by
his employer. When he arrives at BizSpace he will immediately assume primary
responsibility for developing BizSpace's self storage offering in the U.K., as
well as overseeing opportunistic self storage development projects in Germany,
including the planning and construction of new facilities in Berlin.

 

With a portfolio that already includes over 30 self storage locations across
the U.K. and Germany, Sirius has near-term plans to launch further sites in
the U.K. and build new stores in Germany. In particular, the Company sees
significant potential for further market expansion, having identified several
sites within its existing U.K. and German portfolios that are well-suited for
conversion to, and where there is clear demand for, self storage.

 

Andrew Coombs, Chief Executive Officer of Sirius Real Estate, commented: "Tom
is the ideal candidate to help drive Sirius' growth in the high-yielding self
storage market, where we see strong potential within our existing portfolio
alongside a selection of acquisition opportunities currently under review. His
arrival will bolster BizSpace's senior leadership team at a critical stage in
its growth journey, bringing considerable expertise in a specialised
sub-sector that aligns positively with our property portfolio strategy whilst
cross referencing learnings from Germany to leverage the full Sirius
platform."

About Sirius Real Estate

Sirius is a property company listed on the equity shares (commercial
companies) category of the London Stock Exchange and the premium segment of
the main board of the JSE Limited. It is a leading owner and operator of
branded business and industrial parks providing conventional space and
flexible workspace in Germany and the U.K. As of 30 September 2024, the
Group's owned portfolio comprised 145 assets let to 10,025 tenants with a
total book value of €2.4 billion, generating a total annualised rent roll of
€214 million. Sirius also holds a 35% stake in Titanium, its €350+ million
German-focused joint venture with clients of AXA IM Alts.

 

The Company's strategy centres on acquiring business parks at attractive
yields and integrating them into its network of sites - both under the Sirius
and BizSpace names and alongside a range of branded products. The business
then seeks to reconfigure and upgrade existing and vacant space to appeal to
the local market via intensive asset management and investment and may then
choose to refinance or dispose of assets selectively once they meet maturity,
to release capital for new investment. This active approach allows the Company
to generate attractive returns for shareholders through growing rental income,
improving cost recoveries and capital values, and enhancing returns through
securing efficient financing terms.
