People Property Place #111 - Hugh Macdonald Brown, Co-Founder and CEO of Roebuck (RECAP)
Hugh Macdonald-Brown β Co-Founder & CEO of Roebuck joins me on the People Property Place Podcast ποΈ this week for our re-released conversation.
Hugh, or Macca, or 'Legend' as he goes by in our office, is full of energy and shares the realities of leaving a corporate job and setting out on the entrepreneurial path. Plenty of wins, but it hasn't been all smooth sailing...
Hands down one of my favourite episodes to date, and the stats don't lie either - you loved it first time around too!
Recorded in June 23, if you missed it then, be sure to check it out on your run, office commute or asset tour.
Roebuck is an an institutional grade pan-European real estate logistics investor who identify and create investment strategies across the risk spectrum, including core, core + and value add. Their current portfolio spans 7 countries, with more than 100 assets and a value in excess of β¬2.6bn.
Hugh is a graduate of Cass Business School (now Bayes) and started his career at BNP Paribas β he has since transacted more than β¬3.25bn within the logistics sector and has key relationships with the key investors, occupiers, developers and lenders in all of Roebucks target markets.
I sat down with Hugh to discuss a broad range of subjects which covered some of the following topics:
How he got into real estate
Why he set up Roebuck
The reality of starting a business
Institutionalising the business
IOS β Industrial Open Storage
Growth plans
And so much more...
Oh and one last question - who are the People, what Property, and in which Place Hugh would invest should he have Β£500m of equity at his disposal.
