Griffiths joined Prologis from Gazeley in 2005 and was appointed UK managing director in 2008, just three months before the financial crisis. Despite the challenging economic conditions, he successfully steered the company through the recession.
“It has been my privilege to work with such a talented team of people and I am proud of everything we have accomplished together,” Griffiths said. “Since taking on the mantle of regional head a decade ago, my goal has always been to work myself out of the job and empower someone else to take on the role.
“At Prologis we are passionate about what we do and, having worked in the business for the past 15 years, Paul possesses the insight and dynamic leadership capabilities to motivate the UK team and also to play a key role as part of the wider European executive team.”
Weston said: “This is an exciting time for our industry and marks a new chapter for Prologis in the UK. As a property company we have a very special business culture and I look forward to building on the foundations laid by Andrew and to leading such a talented team of people as we invest, grow and seek new opportunities.”
