WORKSPACE APPOINTS TOM EDWARDS-MOSS AS CFO DESIGNATE

Workspace Group PLC ('Workspace'), London's leading owner and operator of
sustainable, flexible workspace today announces the appointment of Tom
Edwards-Moss as its CFO Designate. Tom will replace Dave Benson, who informed
the Board in August of his decision to step down from Workspace.

Tom has been Chief Executive of Hibernia Real Estate Group Ltd. ('Hibernia')
since 2022. He joined the business in 2014 as Chief Financial Officer of
Hibernia REIT PLC's investment manager and was appointed Chief Financial
Officer of Hibernia REIT PLC following the internalisation of the investment
manager in 2015, joining the Board at that point and holding the positions
until the business' acquisition by Brookfield in 2022. Prior to Hibernia, he
spent nearly nine years at Credit Suisse in the UK & Ireland Investment
Banking Team.

Tom is expected to join Workspace following completion of a notice period at
Hibernia and Dave Benson will remain in post until Tom starts. Further updates
on the timing of Dave's departure and Tom's commencement will be provided in
due course.

Duncan Owen, Chair, Workspace, commented:

"We are delighted to welcome Tom as our next CFO following a rigorous
recruitment process. With extensive experience in financial leadership, Tom is
ideally placed to take on the role. The Board and I look forward to working
with Tom as Workspace continues to execute its strategy with a focus on
delivering attractive income-led shareholder returns."

Lawrence Hutchings, CEO, Workspace, commented:

"Tom's proven leadership and deep knowledge of the real estate sector and
capital markets, from his time at both Hibernia and Credit Suisse, mean he is
well-suited to be our new CFO. As we continue to execute our Fix, Accelerate
and Scale strategy at pace, Tom's experience will provide valuable direction
in steering the business towards a sustained recovery in occupancy and income
growth."

Tom Edwards-Moss, CFO Designate, commented:

"I am looking forward to joining the Board of Workspace as the new CFO.
Workspace has a fantastic portfolio and a long history in the flexible
workspace market, with deep roots in supporting London's creative and
innovative SMEs. I look forward to working closely with Lawrence and the wider
team to support the delivery of the strategy."

Tom currently owns 6,052 Ordinary Shares in Workspace.

This announcement has been made pursuant to Listing Rule 6.4.6. There is no
further information relating to Tom Edwards-Moss which is to be disclosed
under Listing Rule 6.4.8.

The terms of Dave Benson's departure will be disclosed in accordance with
section 430(2B) of the Companies Act 2006 in due course.
