Industrial and logistics veteran Ian Worboys has left Trammell Crow Company (TCC), BE News can reveal.
A spokesperson for Trammell Crow Company confirmed: “Ian Worboys decided to leave Trammell Crow Company (TCC). David Neuman, who serves as president, European operations for the firm, has oversight for TCC’s European logistics business and operations.”
Worboys joined TCC – part of CBRE’s stable of businesses – in February 2021 to launch the company’s pan-European logistics arm.
At the time, he told Property Week: “In some companies, you’re dealing with asset managers or people who don’t understand development but control it. I had four or five companies who all said they would back my idea of starting this big company, but at the end of the day what swung it was the mixture of the values, the people, the decision making and the way that Trammell Crow has carried out development in America.
“A lot of funds like to land bank and wait for a build to suit, which is fine and makes sense. The Trammell Crow way is if you buy land, you want to develop it. They are a trader developer.”
Worboys started his career four decades ago as an agent at Strutt & Parker and the self-confessed ‘shed-head’ went on to work for Gazeley, Parkridge and Panattoni.
In 2016, Worboys helped to conclude the £2bn sale of P3 Logistics Parks to Singaporean sovereign wealth fund GIC in one of the biggest real estate deals of the year.
