Backbone Connect expands reach in offices market with new hires
Backbone Connect has made four new hires in its connected buildings and tenant engagement teams as it continues to boost its national reach in the offices market. The business’ expansion reflects a growing awareness among landlords and asset managers of the importance of good digital infrastructure and connectivity to be able to respond to tenants’ expectations of the post-pandemic workplace, in particular the desire for more flexible, adaptable spaces.
Backbone Connect has appointed former director at CBRE, Allan Matthews, to lead its work in Scotland where it is seeing growing demand for better connected workspaces. Also in the connected buildings team,
Paul Aitken joins to oversee the City of London and Manchester markets. He has relocated from South Africa where he worked in commercial property leasing and urban regeneration.
Richard Nicholson will head up activity in south London and the south coast. He brings first-hand experience of the co-working market from his previous role as senior business development manager at London’s Argyll Club.
In addition, Callum Stephens is joining Backbone Connect’s tenant engagement team which helps to get new workplace occupiers online quickly and seamlessly, improving their move-in experience.
