Leadership transition at Frasers Property Industrial

30 July 2026

Frasers Property Limited has announced a planned leadership transition at Frasers Property Industrial. After nearly three decades of dedicated service, our Chief Executive Officer, Reini Otter, will be stepping down to pursue an exciting new career opportunity.

 

To ensure continuous, seamless operations, Ian Barter, currently Managing Director Australia, will take on interim leadership oversight for both our Australian and European portfolios, effective 1 August 2026, while the Board conducts a search for a permanent successor. 

 

Reini has been a foundational pillar of Frasers Property for 28 years, spent the last seven as the CEO of Frasers Property Industrial. Alongside our Board and leadership teams, Reini played a crucial role in forming the Frasers Property Industrial platform, successfully scaling our high-performing industrial and logistics business across both Australia and Europe. 

 

"It has been a privilege to lead Frasers Property Industrial and to work alongside such a talented team for nearly three decades. I am proud of what we have built together, and I leave the business in strong hands. I thank the Board and Panote for their trust in me and wish everyone at the Group continued success." Reini Otter, CEO, Frasers Property Industrial.

 

We are incredibly fortunate to have a leader of Ian Barter’s calibre stepping up to oversee both the Australian and European businesses. Ian has been a cornerstone of Frasers Property since 2005. With over 25 years of experience in industrial and commercial real estate, he has built deep industry partnerships and shaped our customer-centric culture. 

 

Our core focus remains entirely unchanged. Frasers Property Industrial is committed to delivering the same premium quality, innovative solutions, and sustainable estates that our customers and partners rely on. 

 

The Board has initiated an orderly search process to appoint a permanent CEO for Frasers Property Industrial and will provide updates to the market in due course. 

 

Please join us in thanking Reini for his extraordinary legacy and wishing him the best in his next endeavour, and in congratulating Ian as he steps into this expanded leadership role.
