According to DCAM, his arrival completes the senior executive management team, following Anthony Butler’s appointment as chief investment officer in February.

Based in DCAM’s London office, Pym will report directly to managing director Ekaterina Avdonina.

'The business has achieved a number of milestones over the past year,' said Avdonina. 'Jeff brings with him a wealth of sector and capital markets experience which we look forward to leveraging as we maintain this upward trajectory.'

Pym will have responsibility for all aspects of the company’s financial operations, including the debt programme and the tax structuring of its investment and development vehicles, whilst also supporting any future equity raising programme.

'With the logistics sector continuing to demonstrate long-term growth potential, the opportunity to move beyond the UK market and help deliver on DCAM’s pan-European growth strategy to create one of Europe’s leading investors and developers represented an extremely exciting challenge,' said Pym.

With more than 24 years’ experience working in the UK real estate sector, Pym joins DCAM from Tritax, where he played a role in the 2013 IPO of Tritax Big Box REIT, before becoming chief financial officer of Tritax Management in 2015.

Prior to that he was finance director for Squarestone, and was also group director of finance of Hanover Housing.
