Avison Young has appointed flexible workspace specialist Alexandra Gathercole as a director in its London markets team.
Gathercole joins the business from Stirling Ackroyd, where she spent two years as head of flexible workspace. Prior to this, she spent more than seven years at JLL, most recently serving as a director.
Gathercole said: “It’s an exciting time to be joining Avison Young as flexible workspace continues to play a much bigger role in long term real estate strategies. The firm has a strong reputation for forward-thinking advice and I’m excited to work with our clients on both occupier and landlord side as they navigate the evolving flexible workspace market.”
James Walker, principal, London markets and head of London office leasing at Avison Young, added: “Alex’s arrival significantly strengthens our flex capability in London. She brings a rare combination of operator, landlord and occupier insight, which is critical as flexible and managed workspace becomes embedded in mainstream leasing strategies. We’re seeing flex play a much more strategic role across portfolios and transactions, and Alex’s experience will be invaluable as we help clients navigate that shift with confidence.”
