Strettons has appointed Peter Higgins as a director in its industrial and logistics agency team.
Higgins, who has more than 30 years of industry experience, joins the business from Glenny where he spent the last 24 years, most recently serving as a divisional partner.
Mark Bolton, managing director of Strettons, said: “Peter joins us at an important time as we plan for the next stage of our growth, and adds to a number of recent senior hires across the business, including in our auction and office agency teams. Peter’s track record of deal making and his connections across the industry make him the ideal person to bring into our team.
“Our industrial team has completed 64 transactions totalling almost 840,000 sq ft in 2026 to date. Growing our capability further within our core markets is an important part of our plans for 2027 and beyond, and Peter will be central to that work alongside the existing experts in our department. We’re really pleased to have him on board.”
Higgins added: “Leaving Glenny after 24 years was a big decision. What brought me to Strettons was the clear ambition of the firm and its industrial team. It also gives me the chance to keep working in the north and east London markets I know best, with a business that plans to grow in them and across the UK.”
Neal Matthews, agency and development land director at Strettons, said: “Peter’s knowledge of the north and east London markets will directly benefit our clients and complement the expertise of our team. As shown by our Q2 results with Kato and CoStar, our industrial team is highly active across London and the East of England, and bringing Peter into the team gives us the chance to build on that.
“Occupier and investor activity continues to pick up in our core markets, and Peter’s experience will help Strettons advise our industrial client base to benefit from this now and in the future.”
