GPE’s director of projects, Helen Hare, has been appointed junior vice president of the British Council for Offices (BCO).
Hare, who has more than 30 years’ industry experience, started her career as a quantity surveyor and joined GPE as project manager before becoming head of project management and then director of projects in 2017 and 2019 respectively.
Hare said: “It is an honour to be asked to join the British Council for Offices as its junior vice president. Having been part of the organisation for over 10 years’ and seen first-hand its importance for informing, inspiring and sharing best practice, taking on a leadership role feels like a natural transition and I look forward to working with the BCO team as it continues to support the ongoing evolution of the office sector.”
Richard Kauntze, chief executive of the BCO, said: “Helen is a great addition to the BCO’s presidential team. She has been a long-standing supporter of the BCO for many years, and I have no doubt that Helen will make an outstanding contribution to our organisation. Helen’s extensive experience will be invaluable to the BCO as we continue to make the case for the office as an integral part of our cities.”
