Fisher German hires Midlands I&L lead
Matt Sladen has joined property consultancy Fisher German to head up its strategic employment land team.
Based in Ashby-de-la-Zouche in the East Midlands but operating nationwide, Sladen will lead a reshaped team responsible for identifying, securing and promoting land for commercial, industrial and employment uses.
Nottingham-based Sladen brings more than 15 years’ experience in the UK real estate sector, having previously worked at Sladen Estates, where he progressed to development director, before establishing himself as an independent development consultant in 2025.
His previous projects include Nimbus Park in Doncaster, The Boulevard at Hampton in Peterborough and Summit Park Phase 2 in Mansfield.
The consultancy said its current pipeline has the potential to deliver more than 36m sq ft of industrial and logistics space, subject to planning consent.
“I’m excited to be joining Fisher German at a time when demand for employment land continues to grow across the UK,” he said.
“Throughout my career I’ve worked on projects from the earliest stages of identifying opportunities through to delivering completed developments, and I enjoy bringing together the many different people involved to make those schemes a success.
“This new role is a fantastic opportunity to help clients unlock the potential of their land and navigate what can often be a complex development process.”
