Richard Bains, Managing Director - Chancerygate.

Chancerygate is a highly successful property developer, investor and asset manager specialising in the UK's urban logistics and industrial warehousing sectors. They offer a full range of in-house services to manage the entire development process and asset manage funds.

Richard has over 30 years' experience in the UK property sector and prior to joining Chancerygate, was head of the UK business at Rockspring (now Patrizia) and was specifically responsible for their UK focused, closed ended, value-add funds. He is a graduate of Reading University and started his career at Cluttons before moving to Baring Houston and Saunders, as well as CIT.

I sat down with Richard to discuss a broad range of subjects, which covered some of the following topics:

* How he got into real estate

* Early career moves

* Taking risks

* Building the investment portfolio

* Growing the European platform

* Opportunity set in MLI

* How his role has changed

* Importance of your network

Oh, and one last question - who are the People, what Property, and in which Place would Richard invest should he have £500m of capital at his disposal.
