Artificial intelligence (AI) virtual assistant provider Meet Parker has appointed Dominic Grace to its advisory board.
Grace, who has 35 years’ experience at Savills, has joined the team to further the development of Meet Parker’s property solution.
As part of this process, Meet Parker will be deploying its virtual assistant at various different stages of the property process – from upfront lead generation and nurturing, to use by agents to communicate directly with clients during the property transaction.
Freddie Savundra, founder of Meet Parker, said: “Dom is a one of the most respected players in the proptech sphere, with years of experience leading the Savills London residential team.
The Belgian company concluded terms on the 42-acre site from Jaynic in October this year as its first location in the UK and the planning application was submitted immediately afterwards.
The 870,000 sq ft logistics facility will be completed in Summer 2021.
Ben Oughton, development director at Jaynic, said: “We are grateful to West Suffolk Council for their highly positive approach to this planning application. It was submitted on 23rd September and approved on the 3rd December. It is an outstanding effort by all, and enables us to appoint a contractor in the very near future.”
This is the largest ever warehouse transaction to be undertaken in Bury St Edmunds and the West Suffolk region bringing major new investment to the town.
