Longevity Partners, a leading energy and sustainability service provider for some of Europe’s largest property funds has promoted two team members to senior roles within the firm and hired two new members of staff.
With projects in more than 15 European countries, Longevity Partners provides sustainability advisory services to a wide range of property owners and occupiers; the firm has grown in just three years to represent more than £12bn of assets.
Longevity has grown from a boutique advisory company to a leading service provider for the largest property companies in Europe including Redevco, Fidelity, CBRE, Hammerson, and Dassault Systems.
As part of its expansion, Longevity Partners has hired Divya Hariramani and Giselle Crowder as Innovation and Energy Analysts. Existing team members, Anthony Maguire and Alain Kilajian have been promoted to Sustainability & Energy Consultant and Senior Energy Consultant respectively.
Etienne Cadestin, said: “The quality of our staff hires and the standard of the work they have produced have been key reasons for Longevity to become a preferred supplier for so many leading property firms. In a young, but expanding field, it is imperative to find and develop the right talent, so I am very pleased to announce the expansion of the Longevity team and the creation of more green jobs for the sector.
“A key breakthrough for Longevity has been identifying the niche of providing pan-European services, which none of our competitors offer. Developing an unparalleled network across the Continent and a multi-lingual team of consultants has given us a significant point of difference. But the sector needs more trained professionals in these fields to try and minimize the effects of climate change.”
Divya Hariramani joined Longevity after working at E.ON as a Graduate Engineer in the improvement and performance team and following a 2 years’ European sponsored Master program in Renewable Energy. Giselle Crowder has joined the team as an Innovation and Energy Analyst after graduating with a Masters in Renewable Energy Systems Engineering,
With three years’ experience within the Property sector at JLL, Anthony Maguire joined Longevity Partners in 2017. After just six months, he has been appointed to a senior Energy Consultant. Alain Kilajian joined Longevity Partners in 2017 after completing a Masters in Engineering for Sustainable Development. He has been promoted from analyst to Sustainability and Energy Consultant.
“The Built Environment currently generates more than 30% of total carbon emissions across Europe,” explained Etienne. “Therefore to ensure that we have a well-trained and experienced workforce equipped with the skills to minimise energy usage and directly contribute to the war on climate change.”
