HFD appoints property management director

Lisa Gribben

COMMERCIAL property company HFD has announced the appointment of Lisa Gribben as property management director to support the firm’s serviced offices portfolio.

Lisa was previously a partner at Knight Frank and has over two decades of experience in property management. In her new role with HFD, she will support the property division of the business in providing occupier services to clients across Scotland’s central belt.

The move follows the launch of HFD’s new serviced office concept, Ospa, in February. The ‘first-of-its-kind’ offering in Scotland provides occupiers with all-inclusive, flexible serviced office space.

The portfolio includes 180,297 sq. ft. across four buildings at Strathclyde Business Park and 37,000 sq. ft. at Hamilton International Park. Over 300 businesses operate from HFD’s serviced properties across the two sites, supporting a community of over 6,000 professionals.

HFD also manages office space at 177 Bothwell Street in Glasgow city centre, as well the Aurora building at 120 Bothwell Street, which is due to complete later this year.

Lisa Gribben said, “HFD is a well-respected property company and in recent years especially has become synonymous with providing top-quality sustainable office spaces across Scotland. I’m looking forward to getting to know our occupiers across the portfolio and will be working closely with the facilities team to ensure they receive the best possible standard of services.”

Rosemary Hill, director of HFD Services, added, “Lisa is a great addition and has significant experience in property management that will add to the expertise we already have in the team. She joins at an exciting time following the launch of Ospa which, with the greater emphasis on quality and flexibility, has already been well-received by the market. She will support us with further development of the new service, while also maintaining our track record with existing occupiers – some of which have been based at HFD properties for decades.”
