Proptech firm essensys has hired James Lowery as chief executive of its UK and European business.
Lowery joins from British Land, where he co-founded its flexible workspace arm, Storey, building it from concept to a leading brand within five years. At essensys he will lead the growth of the UK and European business, as it continues to scale its operations globally.
Lowery joins the group’s executive committee and will report to founder and chief executive, Mark Furness.
Furness said: “James’s experience of launching, scaling, and operating British Land’s flex workspace offering Storey will be a huge asset to essensys. His skill set is unique, having bridged the gap between landlord and flex space provider at a leading UK property company. He understands the challenges our customers face, and the pivotal role technology plays. I am excited to have James join to lead our UK and Europe business. His experience will be invaluable to both our customers and our business as we continue to scale globally.”
Lowery added: “The effective utilisation of technology is one of the biggest challenges workspace owners and operators face when trying to meet evolving customer needs. I believe essensys is uniquely positioned to drive forward the industry’s digital transformation. A complete, secure and scalable platform, a great team and clear growth plan, makes me incredibly excited about the future.”
