The BCO is a membership organisation, and the collective voice of the office sector- operating as an interactive forum to inspire the creation of better workplaces.
The Oxford committee was established foll0wing strong interest from across the regional commercial market, and will operate as a sub-committee of the wider BCO South West region.
BCO has ambition to strengthen its regional reach, with Oxford emerging as a key focus, alongside broader commitments to supporting the science and research sector.
Mr Parkes joins with over 30 years of experience in the regional sector, alongside Emily Slupek of Savills- named as committee chair, and Lucy Wiltshire of Kier Construction.
Comments
Mr Parkes said: “I am excited to have been asked to be part of this progressive organisation. We will be sure to showcase the exemplary commercial property work going on across Oxford.
“There is a real buzz about the city, and I am anticipating that we will be looking to host thought-provoking get-togethers and social events to engage fully with the vibrant real estate community.”
Future plans
BCO is also exploring the creation of a complementary BCO NextGen Oxford committee to support early-career professionals in the region.
