Covalt Appoints Christopher Williams As New Business Development Director

Christopher Williams, new Business Development Director at Covalt Covalt has announced the appointment of Christopher Williams as its new Business Development Director. The expansion of the firm’s senior team forms part of Covalt’s ambitious growth strategy that aims to have over one million square foot of workspace under management within five years.

Joining from NewFlex, and having previously worked at Aldi, Christopher has a wealth of experience across both commercial real estate and retail to help underpin Covalt’s customer‑focused proposition. With enquiries for flexible office space in January 2024 being 10% higher than the same period in 2023, Christopher joins at an exciting time as landlords across the UK realise the potential in building flexible workspace into their portfolio.

To capitalise on soaring demand, Christopher will lead on prospecting new opportunities for Covalt to deliver its start‑to‑finish management service for flexible workspaces; supporting landlords in building out their own flexible workspace proposition, covering everything from branding and design through to fit out and management. Since launching in April 2023, Covalt already has more than 100,000 sq ft under management.

Calum Russell, CEO at Covalt, commented: “Christopher is an excellent addition to the Covalt management team, bringing his understanding of strategic operations and delivery of top‑tier customer service to Covalt’s proposition.

“We’re excited to see him hit the ground running and I’m confident that Christopher will play a key role in us meeting our ambitious growth target over the next five years.”

Christopher Williams, commented: “Covalt’s management team has a deep level of expertise across flexible workspace, retail and hospitality from their time at the likes of Cushman & Wakefield, Malmaison, Hotel du Vin and Hilton. I’m looking forward to working alongside them to deliver Covalt’s unique offering as the first truly white label flexible workspace operator.”
