Logistics duo deliver new agency

Two property professionals have launched Incore, a new agency focused on logistics land, development and leasing in the mid and big-box markets.

Ed Cole, based in London, and Richard James-Moore, in Birmingham, each bring 20 years of experience, having previously held senior roles at JLL National Industrial and Logistics.

Incore will operate with a director-only model, covering the national big box market with a presence in the South and Midlands.

Cole said: “We are excited to launch Incore at this point in the cycle, where we believe we can utilise our accumulated market knowledge and relationship network to add real value for our clients. As the market moves into a new phase full of opportunity but not yet free of challenges, we believe our offering of highly experienced, hands-on advice can be a valuable source to both familiar and new clients in the sector.”

Cole spent 16 years at JLL, becoming head of national logistics in 2018. He has played a key role in major UK logistics developments, including Magna Park Milton Keynes, Prologis DIRFT and Panattoni Park Aylesford.

His recent work includes London leasing deals, such as Panattoni Borehamwood to Sky Studios, USS’s Bromley-by-Bow to DPD, and Powerhouse Dartford.

He has also managed significant site acquisitions for developers and high-profile land sales for corporate occupiers and private investors.

James-Moore spent seven years at JLL, leading the Midlands industrial and logistics teams. He has advised on major Midlands projects, including West Midlands Interchange, Prologis DIRFT and Coventry Logistics Park.

He has also worked with occupiers such as Bleckmann, Iron Mountain, and Royal Mail, helping them expand their property portfolios in the region.
