At Cube, Nic will be lead on the origination, analysis, and execution of new investment opportunities as well as corporate strategy.

These new appointments follow on from the arrival of Jeff Pym as CFO.

Previously as GROUP CFO for Tritax, Jeff was part of the management team that listed Tritax Big Box REIT in 2013.

Stuart Loggie, Founder and CEO of Cube, says: “Cube is in a great place to build on its 20-year plus history and we are delighted to add more energy to our team. All of our new professionals bring skillsets predominantly in “beds and sheds”, complementing our hands-on development and added value mindsets across property sector.

“Jeff’s wide and high-level experience in his management roles in finance have already been instrumental in shaping the company as it moves forward. His appointment, and that of Nic Lowry, Nick Robinson and Jonathan Butcher, as well as our rebrand, externally marks the start of a new growth chapter for Cube.

“The last four years have been challenging for the market, but during this period we have been focusing on active asset management across our existing portfolio and have achieved notable success. We feel 2024 is the year to expand and be ready for the next few years of working hard to uncover opportunity and generate value. We are ready to push forward on growing our existing mandates, as well working with new investment partners, and we are looking forward to a very busy future.”
