Bidwells has added two partners to its Oxford office as it targets “space at pace” for life sciences.
The move comes after the firm bought Oxford-focused planning consultancy Turnberry Planning.
Emily Slupek joins the team as a partner from Buro Four, where she led its science and tech division, working with developers, funders and tenants at science parks in Oxford and Cambridge.
Duncan May also becomes a partner after leading VSL’s Oxford team for more than 10 years.
Richard Todd, Bidwells’ head of Oxford, said: “Our senior Oxford team is now one of the most experienced in the city and we are 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.
“There are big challenges to delivery in a highly constrained market, which makes joined up, ambitious thinking an essential ingredient of any plan to bring forward the kind of high-quality, flexible space being sought by some of the world’s fastest-growing research businesses.”
