Simon Beirne

As the State Chief Executive of Queensland, my responsibilities include overall supervision of the Queensland business comprising 6 offices and over 300 staff.

At Colliers, we work hard to connect internally to share knowledge about our clients and deliver better outcomes for them. This team ethos is a strong part of our culture and keeps our people highly engaged. It has kept me wanting to be part of this great business for the last 20 years.

I have over 25 years’ experience in the real estate industry and the agency having previously worked for Primac Elders as an auctioneer prior to joining Colliers International in 1998.

My background is in industrial property where I have been responsible for some of the largest transactions in Queensland over the past 20 years.

In 2015 I was involved in the sale of the GIC/Frasers portfolio totalling $1.073 billion. This is the largest and highest quality industrial sale on record in the Australian market.

And in 2017 I had the pleasure of marketing the Coca-Cola Amatil Campus in Richlands which was sold to Charter Hall for $157m, making it the largest single industrial asset sale in Queensland's history.
