Property consultancy CBRE is expanding its flexible workplace service into the Midlands with the appointment of Daniel White to head up the new Birmingham team.
Mr White joins the firm from recruitment consultancy PropRec in the city where he specialised in the flexible property sector.
Prior to this, he developed his career as a senior consultant at OfficeBroker.com.
In his new role, he will be responsible for advising occupiers, investors and operators on their flexible office leasing and acquisition strategies, leveraging his knowledge of the sector and Midlands market.
It is estimated that, in Birmingham, around six per cent of the total available office stock is flexible.
Will Ventham, senior director and head of CBRE's Birmingham office agency team, said: "Having built a career in the sector in the Midlands, Daniel is perfectly equipped to support CBRE's already established flexible workplace team and broaden our geographical reach.
"Birmingham continues to experience increasing demand from both established and new entry serviced providers and this trend, coupled with an increasing appetite from SMEs in the Midlands, offers an enviable platform from which to grow our offer."
