SEGRO: Turning digital ambitions into an engine for growth

How do you leap ahead of competitors – and stay there? 

SEGRO provides the spaces modern businesses need to grow – from vast distribution hubs to urban warehousing, data centres and more. With over a century of experience and a place in the FTSE-100, the business has a portfolio of high-quality real-estate assets across Europe and the UK. But in a world where agility and speed are everything, SEGRO knew that – to continue to scale – it needed to bring data and digital capabilities to the core of its operations. 

Powering growth with data 

We came on board to help shape a data strategy to underpin this goal. That quickly grew into a wider partnership. Over 18 months, we’ve supported SEGRO on big-picture challenges spanning enterprise architecture, asset data and document management, innovation, and digital objectives and key results (OKRs).

In one high-impact project, we are helping make fragmented asset information – from leasing agreements to maintenance contracts – accessible, reliable and usable. Digitised documentation boosts efficiency. It is also empowering teams to make smarter, faster decisions, deliver standout service and meet Health & Safety obligations with confidence. Elsewhere, we’ve launched smart tools for every day, like Power Apps to streamline refurbishment projects and sharpen investment planning. 

Side by side, start to finish 

What’s made the difference? It’s our people and the way we work. We’re hands-on, embedded in client teams, collaborating on solutions that stick. We’ve run innovation days to bring business and digital teams together and spark new ideas. And we’ve hosted hackathons to explore what’s possible with AI and hear directly from SEGRO’s people about where they see the biggest opportunities. We’ve delivered – but we’ve also listened, collaborated and adapted every step of the way. 

Driving smarter, faster growth 

The journey is still unfolding – and so is our collaboration. Together, we’re pinpointing the best opportunities for SEGRO to build its digital capabilities. The results? A smarter, more agile business – one where digital tools and insight power every move. SEGRO is building a modern, data-driven enterprise that’s ready to scale with confidence. We’re proud of be part of the story – and excited for what’s next.  

"Partnership is key to the relationship between SEGRO and Baringa. We have created a relationship where SEGRO colleagues work alongside Baringa with great co-working and sharing of responsibility. The clarity that Baringa have helped us achieve in the Enterprise Architecture field sets us up for the future in a way that we could not have achieved on our own.  The way we are working together to achieve tangible value is one of the best examples I have seen of this type of working in 30 years of partnerships and relationships." - Richard Corbridge, SEGRO CIO
