Colliers International has appointed James Crawford to the role of Executive - Industrial in their Gold Coast office. In his new role Mr Crawford is responsible for handling all aspects of industrial leasing and sales for the company, within the Southport and surrounding Gold Coast industrial precincts.

Mr Crawford has spent the last two years working within the South East Queensland industrial property market and as such has comprehensive knowledge of the market, backed by several years in high-level international sales experience.

Pat Cavanagh, Colliers International Director - Industrial, Gold Coast, said the company is very pleased to welcome Mr Crawford to the industrial team.

“James' prior experience within the industrial sector and sales roles has armed him with the skills and knowledge to deliver a superior level of service within the local market," he said.

Mr Crawford said he was excited to join the team of experienced and professional industrial sales operators at Colliers International. “With Southport being the central business hub on the Gold Coast and with recent zoning changes to the local area by the Gold Coast City Council, the suburb offers a unique and dynamic market in its own right.”
