Commercial property management and building consultancy firm Workman has hired James Widdowson, Chris Keen, and Megan Brett to work across the firm’s southern region, Cambridge, and Manchester offices, Property Week can reveal.
Widdowson takes on the role of partner, with responsibility for overseeing the firm’s building consultancy teams and services in the southern region, working across Birmingham, Bristol, and Swindon.
Bringing almost two decades of experience from CBRE, where he was a senior director, he will provide strategic leadership across the region, while supporting key building surveying and project management client relationships.
Keen joins the firm’s Cambridge office from Hollis as a senior associate. He has worked for a diverse range of property owners and occupiers and in his new role, will support and develop Workman’s existing client base across the region.
In Manchester, Brett joins Workman as an associate with specialist expertise across both refurbishment and new-build projects, adding to the firm’s project management offering, and supporting growth of its building consultancy and project management capabilities in the North-West.
Widdowson said: “I’m delighted to be joining Workman at such an exciting time for the business. The firm has a strong reputation for delivering high-quality advice and building long-term client relationships.
“I look forward to working with colleagues across the southern region to continue growing the building consultancy and project management offering, and supporting our clients’ evolving commercial property requirements,” he added.
Matthew Osborne, partner and deputy head of building consultancy at Workman, said: “These appointments demonstrate our ongoing commitment to investing in talented people and strengthening our service offering across the UK. James, Chris, and Megan each bring valuable expertise and experience that will further enhance the support we provide to our clients. We’re delighted to welcome them to the team and look forward to seeing the positive impact they will make.”
