Shillaw said: “After 15 years of solid growth, MAG Property now offers something distinctive for businesses looking to occupy or develop space at our highly connected locations.
“We understand the complexities of the infrastructure and services that make airports work, so we know how to help businesses based there take full advantage of them.”
“This is a really exciting period for us as we build a relatively unique market-leading property company within the aviation sector. Establishing a strong senior management team with the right knowledge and expertise is vital for us and Adam is the latest in a series of high calibre hires.”
Adam added: “I’m really excited to be joining the senior team at MAG Property at this really important stage in its development. As a diverse and growing business, I believe it is extremely well placed to capitalise on increasing occupational and investment demand.”
