as CEO, Corporate Interiors, EMEA and key additions to the growing
EMEA leadership team.
Frank is an experienced board director delivering profitable
growth for multi-national workplace fit-out firms such as BW:

responsible for the end-to-end delivery of Unispace’s corporate
workplace interiors offering for clients across the strategy,
design, and construction lifecycle in the EMEA markets.
Frank comments, “It’s a fantastic opportunity to join such a
progressive company with a unique offering. I’m committed to
ensuring delivery excellence and a focus on service integration for
our valued clients across Europe.”
Also joining the Unispace corporate interiors business is David
Broderick in a newly created role as Head of Operations, EMEA.
Broderick brings a wealth of experience in delivering and leading
construction projects across sectors including fit-out, corporate
office, life sciences and financial, to name just a few. Reporting
into Rob Frank, Broderick will lead the best practice delivery of

Finally, joining from world-renowned Foster + Partners, Unispace

Since being acquired by private equity firm, PAG, in 2020,
Unispace has expanded service offerings to clients into new
verticals and markets with intentional organic growth and key
acquisitions in recent years of Bulb, BPE and Downstream. These
evolved the business from a focus on corporate interiors to a
portfolio of brands, including Unispace Life Sciences (highly
regulated sectors) and Downstream (brand-led experiential
environments).
The new hires will connect Unispace Group’s increased service
offering, optimising capacity to deliver at scale globally and
locally and across multiple industry verticals.
The announcements follow news of Justin Tydeman recently joining
as Unispace Group CEO in April, also based in the London studio.
Tydeman brings 15 years in CEO roles for international market
leaders in facilities services, including Compass Group, Selecta
and PHS and has a strong track record of driving sustainable growth
and customer-focus in service businesses.
