Mr Cole said: "We are really excited to launch Incore at this point in the cycle where we believe we can utilise our accumulated market knowledge and relationship network to add real value for our clients.

"As the market moves into a new phase full of opportunity but not yet free of challenges, we believe our offering of highly experienced, hands-on advice can be a valuable source to both familiar and new clients in the sector."

Mr James-Moore added: "It is very exciting to bring Incore to the market, providing clients a unique niche agency offering with director-led advice from both Birmingham and London and an entrepreneurial energy."

Mr James-Moore has spent the last seven years at JLL where he led the Midlands industrial and logistics teams from its base in Birmingham city centre.

He has advised on multiple key development projects including the strategic rail freight hub called West Midlands Interchange near Cannock and the award-winning Coventry Logistics Park.

Mr Cole spent 16 years at JLL, becoming head of national logistics in 2018.
