#123 Ian Worboys - CEO and Co-Founder of EGLS
Ian Worboys is CEO and Co-Founder of EGLS, a pan-European logistics platform focused on sustainable development.
With 40+ years in real estate, he’s led major businesses including P3 Logistic Parks and Panattoni, and is known for building high-performing teams and scaling platforms across Europe.
I sat down with Ian to discuss a broad range of subjects which covered some of the following topics:
· How he got into real estate, his early moves, and how discovering dyslexia later in life shaped his approach.
· Lessons from navigating the highs and lows of a long corporate career
· How personal loss drove him to become a book author.
· Why timing and conviction has led to launching EGLS, and why now presents a rare market opportunity
· How he raised capital, built alignment with backers, and assembled a high-performance pan European team at EGLS
· EGLS three clear strategies: new development, retrofitting existing assets, and urban aggregation.
· Whether you’re a property developer, investor, or just curious, this episode is packed with insight and inspiration.
Oh and one last question - who are the People, what Property, and in which Place Ian would invest should he have £500m of capital at his disposal. Catch the full episode which is live on Youtube, Spotify and Apple NOW!
