SENIOR MANAGEMENT CHANGE: NEW HEAD OF PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT

 

Workspace Group PLC ("Workspace") is pleased to announce the appointment of
Jessica Berney as Head of Portfolio Management and member of the Executive
Committee, effective from 1 July 2025.

 

Jessica joins Workspace after thirteen years at Schroders Capital, where she
is Fund Manager, UK Strategic Partnerships, with responsibility for growth of
the UK real estate business. Jessica previously spent nearly seven years at
Invista Real Estate, latterly as a Director responsible for four balanced
funds and all retail sub-sectors.

 

Commenting on the appointment, Lawrence Hutchings, Chief Executive Officer of
Workspace, said:

 

"We're delighted to welcome Jessica to Workspace. 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."

 

Jessica Berney added:

 

"Workspace is truly the pioneer of flex space in London. Its distinctive
buildings, unique operating platform and fascinating customers are hugely
attractive. 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."

London and the South East.

We are home to some 4,000 of London's fastest growing and established brands
from a diverse range of sectors. Our purpose, to give businesses the freedom

flatten London's working map. We work closely with our local communities to
ensure we make a positive and lasting environmental and social impact,
