My experience in investment and asset management will be put to good use as we drive forward the company's strategy and seek out new growth opportunities."
Esme Briggs, Asset Manager at Potter Space, added: "Potter Space's focus on creating environments where businesses can thrive offers an exciting opportunity to apply insights from my background in the industry so far.. I'm keen to use this experience to enhance our asset management strategies and build on the strong customer relationships that are clearly at the heart of Potter Space's operations.”
