Global outsourcing company Trammell Crow Savills has made several strategic appointments. Keith Hamer is to be Operations Director, with responsibility for existing UK contract operations and for the ongoing development of the company’s operational base in the EMEA region.

He joins TCS from Sulzer Infra CBX and has previously worked for Serco, Aqumen and Amey. His move to TCS allows him to adopt a more global perspective: “At TCS I will have the opportunity to use my experience to assist the company in growing a unique facilities outsourced business with a global reach.”

Max Bowyer joins TCS as IT Director, charged with “implementing next generation technologies within the outsourcing environment.” Max has worked for a number of leading edge companies including Metapack, the e-commerce logistics company and Sterpack, where he supported the development and operation of cinema multiplexes across Europe. He gained real estate experience as Chief Information Officer for EMEA at CB Hillier Parker.

Steven Hyder has been appointed Real Estate Manager for the southern region at TCS. He will manage the transactions for the American Express account and will also be responsible for strategic space planning and developing accommodation strategies for the individual country markets. Before joining TCS, Steven spent 18 years with NatWest as an Estate Manager travelling extensively overseas.

TCS is also strengthening its marketing team. Angie Houston has been promoted to a new cross functional role as Strategic Development Director (SDD) with responsibility for global marketing strategy development and management, brand management and industry tracking.

A well known figure on the FM scene, Angie has been TCS marketing manager since the formation of the company, building upon her experience with the former FM company, Trigon, now incorporated into TCS. Previously, she was Marketing Manager at CBX (now Sulzer Infra CBX) and before that was part of the team at the Centre for Facilities Management.
