The Executive Board of BSC Real Estate Advisors will comprise: Jason Sharman who is appointed as Managing Partner and will run Investment and Business Space; Paul Cawood will lead the Retail Leasing team and Tim Rylance will oversee Property Management, Management Accounts and Project and Technical Services. 
 
The firm will employ around 79 personnel with the Warsaw based staff looking to fully integrate into one office location by early April 2017.
