WiredScore, the global rating scheme for digital connectivity in commercial real estate, has appointed Hamish Dupree as Head of London Markets.
Mr Dupree’s role at WiredScore will focus on client development with London landlords, identifying prospects, communicating the company’s value proposition and aiding the adoption of the Wired Certification product in London. The appointment follows a period of growth for WiredScore, underpinned by the recent $9 million Series A fund raising round.
Mr Dupree joins WiredScore from real estate fund, Patrizia, where he was Senior Associate focused on UK transactions, sourcing and executing investments across diverse asset classes and risk profiles. Prior to that he worked at Cushman & Wakefield in the central London capital markets team.
William Newton, WiredScore President and EMEA Managing Director, said: “As WiredScore continues to expand globally we are committed to building a best-in-class team, supporting the widescale adoption of Wired Certification across the commercial real estate industry. London is a core market and Hamish’s expertise and knowledge of the capital make him the ideal candidate to head up our London markets team.
“The talent we employ at WiredScore underpins our success as a business. We are dedicated to providing the best product and the best advice for our customers and increasing the blend of skills and experience to ensure we have the right team in place. 2019 promises to be an exciting year for WiredScore as our business matures and Hamish will be a great asset to us as we further develop our growing offer and build on our team culture.”
Hamish Dupree, Head of London Markets, said: “Having worked with WiredScore during my time at Patrizia I was well aware of the inherent value of Wired Certification and the importance of their wider business proposition. The company’s underlying aspiration to be an enabler to the real estate industry, as it addresses the wider importance of digital infrastructure and transformation, is both unique and compelling. I look forward to working with the impressive minds at WiredScore as they continue to support businesses, navigating the increasingly important world of connectivity in real estate.”
Wired Certification acts as a trusted benchmark for a building’s connectivity, giving greater transparency to tenants. The certification also provides landlords and developers with the necessary insights to upgrade and future-proof their buildings’ connectivity standards.
Following the global success of the company there is now nearly 450 million sq ft of office space committed to Wired Certification. WiredScore now works with more than 450 forward-thinking landlords and developers globally including: Blackrock, British Land and Hines. 1,700 buildings are committed to certification and four million people work in Wired Certified buildings across North America and Europe.
