Ed Costelloe, Head of Professional Property Services at BT Property, has been appointed Chairman of the Workplace Network (TWN), the international network of senior executives which focuses on strategic and management issues in property. He takes over from Robert Peck, Commissioner of the GSA’s Public Buildings Service. The US General Services Administration provides work environments for over 1 million Federal employees across the US.

TWN says that membership is restricted to large-scale organisations which either own or lease millions of square feet and accommodate thousands of employees. The key function of TWN is to provide opportunities for benchmarking and exchange of best practice ideas between members.
Ed Costelloe (pictured) commented: "TWN provides an informal opportunity for property professionals from all over the world to share ideas and information on the core issues affecting major occupiers and owners. Since the Network’s foundation in 1991, we have enjoyed Workshops across the globe which have provided a wide range of benefits to our members."

Current membership is drawn from all over the world. TWN is especially keen to recruit more private sector members and welcomes approaches from the corporate sector. Interested parties are invited to contact Ed Costelloe, ed.costelloe@bt.com.
