For over a decade we have done one thing, and done it with conviction: identify, acquire and actively manage the multi-let urban warehouses that British businesses depend on. A forensic approach to acquisition, and relentless hands-on asset management, is how we turn good buildings into growing income.
Tilstone Partners was founded in 2010 by Andrew Bird and Simon Hope to focus on commercial property investment and development. In August 2013 the firm identified a specialist opportunity in the UK warehouse sector and created the Tilstone Property Portfolio — the seed portfolio for the September 2017 Warehouse REIT IPO.
Tilstone served as Investment Advisor to Warehouse REIT from its £150m AIM listing through promotion to the Main Market in 2022, and on to the company’s £489m acquisition by Blackstone in September 2025. From a standing start to an £805m portfolio and a clean exit — a complete cycle, executed.
We are now building our own identity, taking the same forensic discipline to a new generation of multi-let mandates and capital partnerships.
Tilstone Partners Limited is an appointed representative of G10 Capital Limited, which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FRN 648953).
To provide well-connected, high-quality and sustainable warehouse space that occupiers need to succeed.
A forensic approach to property acquisition ensures compatibility with future occupier requirements. Dedicated, hands-on management then drives rental growth consistently ahead of prior passing rents.
We target multi-let urban warehouses in the UK’s key industrial hubs — the North West, the Midlands and the Oxford–Cambridge Arc — underwriting every asset against the occupier of the future.
Every lease event is an opportunity to reset the rental tone. In-house asset management treats reversion, refurbishment and re-letting as a single, continuous programme.
Once a business plan is delivered, we sell with discipline — £193.4m of disposals, all at or above book value — and redeploy into higher-returning multi-let opportunities.
We upgrade at lease events — targeting EPC B on refurbishment and BREEAM Very Good on new build — protecting income and value on a clear pathway to net zero.
