Having worked for companies ranging from the World’s smallest Building Society to it’s largest Banking corporation, for Industry Training Boards, Charitable concerns, European and Global Tech companies and for Global/Iconic sports brands, Square Bees has over 30 years of ‘hands on’ experience in the commercial and corporate Real Estate markets.

This started with the Hotel and Catering Industry Training board where I managed the daily demands of a portfolio of 83 Training Centre sites across the UK. I then moved to a UK based Tech company, Vanco, where I was responsible for their office portfolio and its growth from 1 London office to a portfolio of 23 Global offices in a 6 period.

In 2008 I set up my first consultancy ‘Factor 20 Business Solutions’ and through this won prestigious contracts including with The Football Association, Wembley National Stadium Ltd and The Rugby Football Union.

In 2010 Factor 20 was awarded a contract with US Tech Company – Ciena. As this contract progressed Factor 20 was then responsible for management of both their EMEA and then their combined EMEA & APAC portfolios.

Between 2013 and 2018 I was then directly employed by Ciena as their ‘Senior Director, Global Facilities and Property Operations’ with responsibilities for a portfolio of over 60 offices around the globe.

I am a member of the British Institute of Facilities Managers (MBIFM) and of CoreNet and have spoken at various Industry forums (UK, US and India) including for CoreNet, CBRE and most recently for the International Professionals Association on the challenges of ‘Corporate International Expansion, Relocation and Migration’.

In June 2018 I was featured in CoreNet’s ‘Leader’ magazine and other testimonies and press articles are available here. Square Bees GPS sees my return to independent consultancy and, no matter how big or small your need may be, I would be delighted to discuss any considerations you may need help, support or direction on.

I look forward to hearing from you.
