We have welcomed two new hires to the team!

We are thrilled to announce the appointment of two senior leaders to our team – Peter Buckles as Client Relationship Director and David Barnett as Associate Director of Finance. These strategic hires strengthen our commitment to delivering innovative, cost-effective fit out solutions and robust financial leadership.

Peter Buckles, Client Relationship Director

Bringing a fresh perspective to client engagement, Peter joins Workspace Design and Build with 25 years of experience in the property industry, including prominent roles at Savills and Betfred. His unique approach, informed by his background as an Asset Manager, focuses on aligning fit out projects with the needs of building owners, agents, and occupiers. “I aim to build strong relationships by understanding the unique goals of each project,” said Peter. “High-end fit outs don’t always suit achievable rent levels, and costs can impact our clients’ brief. We’re focused on delivering quality work at the right cost to make projects succeed.” His expertise will drive tailored solutions that balance quality and practicality, fostering stronger partnerships across the property sector.

David Barnett, Associate Director of Finance

With over 20 years as a qualified Chartered Accountant, David brings a wealth of experience to his new role as Associate Director of Finance. Having qualified in Audit with BDO Stoy Hayward, he has spent more than a decade in the property sector, including managing some of Manchester’s most prestigious residential buildings. His diverse background spans pharmaceuticals, oil and energy renewables, and private equity. “I’m excited to join Workspace Design and Build’s senior leadership team, support our finance team, and collaborate with everyone to drive success,” said David. His strategic financial acumen will bolster the company’s growth and operational excellence.

“We’re delighted to welcome Peter Buckles and David Barnett to our team,” said Lauren Hart, Director at Workspace Design and Build. “Their expertise and vision align perfectly with our employee-owned ethos, ensuring we continue to deliver exceptional value to our clients while fostering a collaborative and innovative workplace.”
