Lambert Smith Hampton (LSH) has appointed Philip Macauley as Director within its Operational Real Estate team, further strengthening the firm's specialist valuation and consultancy capabilities in the growing self storage sector.
Based in London and operating nationally, Philip will work closely with colleagues across Industrial & Logistics, Valuation, Development and Capital Markets to provide integrated advice to self storage operators, developers and investors.
Philip joins from Cushman & Wakefield, where he was Partner and Head of Self Storage (EMEA). During his time there, he established a leading self storage advisory practice across Europe, advising operators including Shurgard, Safestore, Access and Cinch Self Storage, alongside institutional investors such as Blackstone, Heitman, Cerberus and Legal & General. He also co-authored the annual UK Self Storage Report in partnership with the Self Storage Association (SSA).
With more than 30 years' experience in commercial property valuation and advisory services, Philip has previously held senior positions at Deloitte, KPMG and Duff & Phelps.
The appointment reflects LSH's continued investment in operational real estate sectors and recognises the increasing overlap between self storage and the wider industrial and logistics market. As operators continue to seek both purpose-built facilities and conversion opportunities within existing industrial stock, clients are increasingly looking for integrated advice spanning acquisition, development, valuation and investment strategy.
Commenting on the appointment, Oliver Leeming, Executive Director at LSH, said:
"The self storage sector continues to attract significant operator and investor interest, underpinned by strong market fundamentals and increasing institutional engagement. Philip brings a wealth of experience and an established track record advising across all aspects of the sector. His appointment further strengthens our Operational Real Estate team and enhances our ability to provide clients with specialist advice supported by expertise across Industrial & Logistics, Valuation, Development and Capital Markets."
Philip Macauley added:
"I am delighted to be joining LSH at a time of continued growth and investment across the business. The firm has developed a strong platform, bringing together expertise from across multiple disciplines to support clients throughout the property lifecycle. I look forward to working with colleagues across the business to further develop our self storage offering and support clients operating in this evolving sector."
Philip's appointment forms part of LSH's ongoing investment in specialist expertise and reinforces the firm's commitment to supporting clients across the UK's evolving operational real estate market.
