Knight Frank has hired the head coach for the England men’s lacrosse team for its flexible office solutions business.
Steven Lydon joins as surveyor, along with Eleanor Littley, who moves to Knight Frank from ERE Property as team secretary.
Previously, Lydon worked in Boston, Massachusetts, as a lacrosse coach before moving to London. Prior to this, he was also an adviser in JLL’s commercial team.
Knight Frank’s flexible office business provides tailored advice to businesses of all sizes seeking flexible workspace in London, from large corporates to fast-growing start-ups and enterprise businesses, and is headed by Amanda Lim.
She commented: “Steven brings an entirely unique perspective to the team, and his experience as a professional sportsman will be highly valued by businesses looking to find a workplace that offers a compelling work-life balance, and of course great sports and leisure facilities.
“We are passionate about recruiting a team of experts that reflect our clients and their needs, so we are looking outside of the traditional property industry for new recruits.”
