In a world where the UK’s listed property companies are being picked off slowly but surely by private equity firms and larger U.S. rivals, Andrew Jones decided to become a predator rather than prey. 

As CEO, he has turned LondonMetric Property into a FTSE 100 company and gradually pivoted its strategy to become the UK’s leading triple-net-lease REIT. Spend even a short time in his presence, and he will expound the virtues of compound interest over time, a mantra he picked up from investing heroes Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger. 

Under his leadership, the company has grown considerably with the takeover of six listed real estate companies.

Today LondonMetric’s portfolio totals £8B, invested across the logistics, grocery and hospitality sectors. 

He has led the company since 2013 after the £800M merger between Metric Property and London & Stamford. In 2010, he floated Metric Property in a £190M initial public offering. He was previously a director at British Land, from 2005, following its £811M acquisition of Pillar Property.   

Outside of work, Jones loves his family, friends and travelling. He is a passionate Welshman and loves football: Fulham FC, Manchester United and Merthyr Town FC. He also plays golf, listens to business podcasts and enjoys reading anything on, of course, Buffett and Munger.
