Flexible office operator and investor Workspace Group has hired Jessica Berney as head of portfolio management.
Berney will join the company in July after 13 years at Schroders Capital, where she is fund manager for UK strategic partnerships.
Workspace chief executive Lawrence Hutchings (pictured) said: “There is a significant long-term structural growth opportunity ahead of us and Jessica will play a critical role in ensuring Workspace is positioned to capture it.
Her extensive property experience will give us a fresh perspective as we look to optimise our portfolio, improve capital allocation decisions to maximise returns and further enhance our characterful buildings to make them even more aligned to the evolving needs of London’s SMEs.”
Berney added: “SMEs are the bedrock of London’s vibrant economy, and I’m looking forward to working with Lawrence and the team to make sure Workspace’s buildings remain the natural home for London’s SMEs.”
