European Green Logistics Space (EGLS), the new investment and development company headed by logistics real estate veteran Ian Worboys, has hired Marta Gorońska-Wiercioch to lead its activity in Poland.
Marta has been appointed Director of Investment & Development, Poland. Working closely with Mario Sander, Managing Director of Germany, Austria & Poland at EGLS, she will be responsible for expanding the company’s presence in the Polish logistics market.
Marta joins EGLS from BNP Paribas Real Estate, where she was a director in capital markets, bringing extensive expertise in investment management and logistics development. Before joining BNP Paribas Real Estate in 2021, she spent more than a decade at Knight Frank in the capital markets team.
Mario Sander, Managing Director of Germany, Austria & Poland at EGLS, said: “We are thrilled to welcome Marta to EGLS to strengthen our presence in Poland. Her deep knowledge of the Polish market, combined with her investment expertise and strategic vision, will be instrumental in driving our growth and reinforcing our commitment to delivering sustainable logistics solutions”.
EGLS was launched in January with the backing of Kamco Invest, one of the largest asset managers in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. EGLS will deliver sustainable big box and urban logistics facilities through a two-pronged strategy. It will acquire existing assets which can be improved, retrofitted and turned into modern, sustainable facilities, and it will also carry out ground-up developments.
EGLS will work with Kamco Invest, along with a small number of other large investors, with different investment strategies, on a separate account basis. It has already lined up a strong pipeline of sites and standing assets to be acquired.
Geographically, EGLS will invest in the UK, France, Germany, Austria, Czechia, Slovakia, Poland, Spain, the Netherlands and Italy.
