Halewood joined from Red Hat, an IBM-owned open-source software company, where he ran the property strategy for EMEA.
Before that, he spent more than six years at Standard Chartered. At the time he left in February, he was real estate manager for Europe and the Americas. In that post he oversaw projects including the bank’s preparations for Brexit with real estate deals in Frankfurt and Paris.
CBRE launched Hana in 2018. In September the flexible workspace business announced its first three locations in London, taking space at 70 St Mary Axe, EC3, 245 Hammersmith Road, W6, and St Martin’s Court, EC4.
Nellist told EG at the time that Manchester and Dublin are also targets for the company as it grows, and that further afield Berlin, Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Paris and Madrid were all on the EMEA team’s radar.
