Hong Kong has seen record levels of departures from its international airport in recent months and one such trip leads Mingtiandi’s roundup of personnel moves this week as a veteran retail broker heads home to the UK.

A pair of former WeWorkers also make our list this week as Hong Kong-based Eric Schaffer takes on the challenge of establishing a tech provider’s business region-wide and Calvin Chen joins local flexible office Shanghai-based office-maker Gee.

Nick Bradstreet SavillsAfter nearly 30 years leading Hong Kong’s retail leasing scene, Nick Bradstreet is heading back to England to serve as head of Asia Pacific retail for Savills UK. Bradstreet, who has served as managing director of leasing for Savills Hong Kong since 2016, has now been with the property consultancy in the city since 1 November 1992. The entirety of his career in the Asian financial hub has been focused on the retail sector, and he has represented the likes of Apple, Lululemon, Abercrombie, DFS, Sephora and Victoria’s Secret. On the landlord side, Bradstreet has led mandates for the Venetian in Macau and Hysan Place in Causeway Bay. On his return to the UK, the University of Leicester graduate is expected to return to Hong Kong regularly to service client requirements in the region.

Eric SchafferEric Schaffer has been named chief executive officer for Asia Pacific with software maker essensys, according to a recent announcement by the London-based company. Based in Hong Kong, Schaffer is leading the establishment of an Asia Pacific presence for the maker of software and technology for the flexible workspace industry. The new role comes after the Columbia University graduate spent three years as senior director and head of real estate advisory for Asia Pacific at WeWork.
