Freespace by Workplace Fabric has appointed two senior leaders to meet the growing international demand for workplace technology solutions. 

Robin Davies joins as Business Development Director for the UK, and John Tavares steps into the role of General Manager for the Americas. 

Davies has a career spanning 25 years in business development and growth in the facilities management sector, delivering more than £3bn in new contract wins across a wide range of markets. To date, his career includes a significant spell at Serco, a specialist in the delivery of essential public services, where he worked across the facilities business, spanning government and corporate FM, leisure, transport and local authority waste.

Freespace created the role of Business Development Director to strengthen the effort on major bids for public and private sector clients. Davies will focus on public sector growth, strategic and major bids with key existing accounts and new corporate sector clients. He will also support and enable the marketing function of this rapidly growing business. 

In the Americas, John Tavares, former Vice President of Sales at Comfy, has been hired to drive growth and create sales processes that can scale. His experience in both domestic and international business and mergers and acquisitions enables Tavares to lead teams with a clear vision. 

Tavares’ vision for Freespace covers four concentric circles: to optimise and scale business processes; to drive growth; to build a team that can support Freespace’s growing customer base across the Americas to ensure the experience is the best it can be, particularly during this period of high demand; and to support the leadership of the business in order to scale. 

Raj Krishnamurthy, Freespace CEO, added: “I’m delighted to welcome both John and Robin to the team. The next challenge is getting companies back to work safely. The reactions to this pending mission are aligned with Freespace’s solution – we provide a solid solution that works as soon as it steps out of the gate – so now’s the time to strengthen our offering and expand our global footprint. I know Robin and John will relish the challenge and send the business soaring to new heights.”
