Paul has worked in the UK industrial and logistics sector for 30 years and began his career in industrial agency at JLL before working with Gazeley (now GLP) and Brixton plc (now part of SEGRO), joining Prologis in 2003. Together with the Executive Team, Paul is responsible for setting the strategic direction for the UK business and works closely with the European and Global leadership teams. I sat down with Paul to discuss a broad range of subjects which covered some of the following topics:   * How he got into real estate * Early career moves + lessons * Seeking forgiveness rather than permission * Learning from your mistakes * Entrepreneurial spirit * Collaboration with Francis Bourgeois * Current market dynamics * Importance of your network * Data * The transition from day job to leader   Oh, and one last question - who are the People, what Property, and in which Place Paul would invest should he have £500m of equity at his disposal.
