\n Guy Parkes, a partner at Vail Williams based in Oxford and Reading, has been named a founding member of the British Council for Offices\u2019 (BCO) newly launched regional committee in the city.\n<\/p>\n
\n The BCO brings members of the office sector together to share ideas and improve how workplaces are designed and used.\n<\/p>\n
\n Mr Parkes, who has more than 30 years of experience in the regional market, joins committee chair Emily Slupek of Savills and Lucy Wiltshire of Kier Construction on the Oxford committee.\n<\/p>\n
\n Mr Parkes said: “I am excited to have been asked to be part of this progressive organisation.\n<\/p>\n
\n “We will be sure to showcase the exemplary commercial property work going on across Oxford.\n<\/p>\n
\n “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.”\n<\/p>\n
\n The committee was created in response to significant interest from the regional commercial property market and will operate as a sub-committee of the wider BCO South West region.\n<\/p>\n
\n Its formation reflects the BCO\u2019s commitment to expanding its influence in key locations, with Oxford identified as an area of particular growth, especially in the science and research sectors.\n<\/p>\n
\n The BCO is also exploring the creation of a complementary BCO NextGen Oxford committee to support early-career professionals in the region.\n<\/p>\n
\n Founded in 1990 and with a membership of more than 4,000, BCO represents owners, developers, architects, surveyors, managers, occupiers and others.\n<\/p>\n
\n Through its publications, events and networking opportunities, it provides a platform to debate all aspects of the office sector.\n<\/p>\n
\n Mr Parkes has longstanding ties to Oxford, having studied at university in the city.\n<\/p>\n
\n He is recognised as a leading voice in commercial real estate and works across the full spectrum of property services.\n<\/p>\n
\n Vail Williams has seen strong growth in Oxford since opening its office there two years ago.\n<\/p>\n
\n The Oxford office, led by partner and head of investment Richard Dawtrey, bridges the firm\u2019s operations between London, Reading, and Birmingham and is located at New Barclay House.\n<\/p>\n
\n The consultancy now operates from 12 locations across the UK.\n<\/p>\n
\n Vail Williams is one of the UK\u2019s largest independent providers of commercial and residential property advice, offering services including planning, valuation, asset management, and property acquisition and disposal.\n<\/p>\n
\n The firm employs 169 people, more than 50 of whom are partners, and is accredited with the gold standard from Investors in People.\n<\/p>\n
\n The company services clients across the public and private sectors, including landlords, occupiers, investors, developers, and landowners.\n<\/p>\n
