"The hires underline Valor’s continuing growth trajectory since its launch in July 2016, during which we have acquired eight assets and launched our first fund, Valor Industrial Partners 1. We continue to see exciting opportunities in the pan-European logistics market and the strengthening our team enables us to react even faster to these opportunities."
