Landmark plc have appointed accounting, tax and treasury expert Tim Kiddy as group financial controller, an appointment that comes at a crucial time for the serviced offices provider.
Landmark’s focus is on providing serviced offices in the heart of the City of London. Established in 2000, it has five serviced offices in its portfolio of premium addresses, among them three Grade II listed buildings.
A high-profile organisation, it is known for supplying original artwork and sculptures throughout its serviced offices, sponsoring young and emerging artists and offering prizes through a local art college.
It is currently embarking on its most prestigious expansion, a three-floor flagship residency at Heron Tower. The premium serviced offices development will, upon completion be the City’s tallest at 230m.
Landmark aims to create a ‘village’ of serviced offices, spread across 37,000 sq ft, each with self-contained units comprising 500 workstations, at a cost of £2m, which is due for launch in July 2011. David Todd, Landmark’s chairman, expressed confidence in the project’s ability to deliver flexibility and cost-efficiency. Todd, also outlined Landmark’s intention to ‘cater to the increasing sophistication of the market we serve, which we felt was not being catered for’.
Heron Tower is set to become an iconic City building and Landmark aims to make good on their name by taking up such substantial floor space in this impressive monument to serviced offices. The building itself promises numerous restaurants and a ‘sky bar’, accessible by fully glazed double-decker lifts taking voyagers up a scenic stairway to heaven and out onto external terraces, with ‘spectacular views’ across London.
Kiddy is leaving his position as financial controller at NB Real Estate, having previously held positions at DHL, Philip Morris International and SABMiller. He is expected to add experience and depth to what promises to be an innovative and pioneering period for the serviced offices sector.
