The BCO has established a new regional committee in Oxford and announced Emily Slupek as its chair.<\/p>\n

Slupek, who is head of the Oxford project management team and divisional science sector co-lead at Savills, brings more than 20 years\u2019 experience delivering complex development projects across offices, science and technology, higher education and residential sectors.<\/p>\n

She is joined on the new committee by Guy Parkes, regional agency lead at Vail Williams, and Lucy Wiltshire, senior pre-construction manager at Kier Construction.<\/p>\n

Slupek said that the Oxford committee had been formed following strong interest from across the regional commercial market.<\/p>\n

She said: \u201cI am excited to lead this new sub-committee. I\u2019m looking forward to showcasing some of the brilliant output from our local Oxfordshire region, and curating interesting and sociable events to further connect the vibrant real estate community in the area.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Oxford committee will operate as a sub-committee of the wider BCO South West & South Wales region, chaired by Cath Macpherson, director at Hoare Lea, who was appointed regional chair last year.<\/p>\n

Macpherson said: \u201cFollowing the success of the Inventa BCO tour last year, it became clear there was an opportunity to strengthen our regional coverage, particularly across the Oxford market. Establishing this committee is an important step in addressing that gap and further demonstrates BCO\u2019s commitment to supporting the science and research sector.”<\/p>\n

She added: \u201cI am delighted to welcome Emily, Guy and Lucy to the South West committee and very much look forward to delivering a strong programme of events in Oxford.\u201d<\/p>\n

BCO is also exploring the creation of a complementary BCO NextGen Oxford committee to support early-career professionals in the region.<\/p>\n
