CEO MONTHLY / ISSUE 12 2018 13 , GCE18053 Established in 2009, CrawshawBailey Industries Ltd (CBI) is amulti-million-pound commercial property investment group who works with such clients as Tesco, Halfords, L’Oréal and British Gas. In late October, the firm’s Managing Director, PeterWhatley, was recognised in CEOMonthlyMagazine’s 2018 Global CEO Excellence Awards programme as the Property Investment MD of the Year in South East England. On the back of this achievement, we endeavoured to take a closer look at the firmand their extraordinary success. Outstanding Leadership in the Property Investment Sector With over 150 acres of property under their management, Crawshaw Bailey Industries have flourished over their nine years of operation. Under Peter’s astute leadership, the firm now celebrates tenants that represent the top talent in their respective industries, from Yodel to Enterprise, and Travis Perkins to Dominoes. From the outset, CBI was created through a collaboration between three experienced property professionals with over eighty years of experience between them. From these hardy foundations, CBI has grown to become a notable presence in the competitive property investment landscape and made a number of acquisitions to further differentiate themselves from their peers and competitors and expand their considerable portfolio. Today, Crawshaw Bailey manage close to £30 million in assets across their associated companies and residential holdings. All of this has, arguably, been a result of Peter’s considerable expertise in the sector, with his honed knowledge and skill for overseeing large-scale property transactions from initiation to conclusion. Equally, as someone who has thrived on the back of a recession, Peter is also accustomed to delivered growth during economic volatility – a blessing for the company and his tenants alike. The company’s aggressive, impressive growth, alongside their proactive approach to investment has served the company well in an industry often defined by hesitant consideration. In this, Peter, and his fellow Directors, are constantly open to new opportunities, welcoming potential acquisitions to bolster their offering which will entice new tenants in turn. These associated companies represent a broad variety of commercial subsectors, such as heavy industry, speculative development, utilities, and storage. For his efforts in securing enduring success in the notoriously difficult commercial property sector, Peter was acknowledged as the Property Investment Managing Director of the Year in CEO Monthly’s esteemed Global Excellence Awards – a title that few in the industry could compete with. Peter’s experience and history of securing results mark him as extraordinary in an industry that often demands perfection to see results.
