Bidwells has hired two science and technology (S&T) experts to bolster its team. Science and technology specialist Emily Slupek joins as a partner from project management firm Buro Four, where she led its S&T division. And Duncan May, who led VSL’s Oxford team, joins Bidwells’ agency team as partner.
Bidwells’ head of Oxford, Richard Todd, said: “Our senior Oxford team is now one of the most experienced in the city and we’re really excited about our offer to developers and investors looking to make an impact in the region by helping meet the massive global demand for research space.
Slupek said: “Joining the market’s leading science and tech advisors is a perfect fit for me as my passion lies in sharing and exploring a deeper understanding of what it takes to make successful science buildings.
“By drawing upon the insights of my colleagues in other disciplines in the sector, we will bolster our understanding of live real estate requirements and bring this to the delivery of new buildings, enabling us to continuously evolve with changing market needs in real time.”
May added: “After 20 years working in the region, I can honestly say there has never been a more exciting time to be working here. I’m delighted to be joining a firm that has lived and breathed some of the huge changes we’ve seen in in recent years.”
