(Sharecast News) - Flexible office operator Workspace appointed Tom Edwards‑Moss as chief financial officer designate on Thursday, replacing Dave Benson.

Benson, who informed the board of his decision to leave in August, will remain in post until Edwards‑Moss takes up the position following completion of his notice period at Hibernia, with further updates on the timing of the transition to be provided at a later date.

Edwards‑Moss has been chief executive of Hibernia Real Estate Group since 2022, having previously served as CFO of Hibernia REIT from 2015 until its acquisition by Brookfield in 2022.

Chairman Duncan Owen said: "We are delighted to welcome Tom as our next CFO following a rigorous recruitment process. With extensive experience in financial leadership, Tom is ideally placed to take on the role. The Board and I look forward to working with Tom as Workspace continues to execute its strategy with a focus on delivering attractive income-led shareholder returns."
