'Facilities management is a core area for our business. Caroline’s proven track record in global facilities management, as well as workplace and business transformation projects for major corporations, will be a real benefit to our clients which include some of the world’s most prominent businesses and organisations,' said James Maddock, head of global occupier services EMEA.
Established within the facilities management sector, Gardiner has held a number of high-profile roles within the banking sector, including positions as project lead and interim global head of Barclays facilities services, as well as a facilities managment role at HSBC.

'Corporations are increasingly outsourcing some or all of the management and operation of their facilities,' said Gardiner. 'It is an exciting time in the sector and my insights, along with the team, will help inform our future growth strategy, global alignment and intelligent IFM capability to benefit new and existing clients, creating and delivering that all-important user experience.'
