Sirius Real Estate has appointed Tom Lampard from Shurgard Self Storage as property director – self storage.
Lampard joined Shurgard in 2024 when it acquired Lok’nStore Group, where he held senior leadership roles over a 12-year tenure.
He resigned from his role as real estate director overseeing the South East of England and Manchester markets for Shurgard in October last year and is currently working out his notice period.
In his new role, he will assume primary responsibility for developing BizSpace’s self-storage offering in the UK, as well as overseeing opportunistic self-storage development projects in Germany, including the planning and construction of new facilities in Berlin.
Andrew Coombs, chief executive officer of Sirius Real Estate, said: “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.”
