Mark Bourgeois – Interim CEO, GPA
“GPA is about providing great workplaces for Civil Servants”
The Government Property Agency is helping to change the way the Civil Service works and is at the forefront of the Government’s transformation agenda; reshaping the relationship civil servants have with their place of work. The Agency is central to the delivery of key Government policies and tackling climate change by contributing to the Net Zero agenda. To do this we are delivering one of the largest real estate and change programmes across the UK and consolidating our portfolio in order to save £1.4 Bn over 10 years. This includes significant new build regeneration programmes and the sympathetic refurbishment and repurposing of many of the UK’s most recognisable heritage buildings in Westminster.
Beyond the bricks and mortar, the GPA is about providing great workplaces for Civil Servants. Through programmes like the Government Hubs, Whitehall Campus you will be in the vanguard of creating model working environments and promoting flexible working practices.
This is an ambitious and exciting task, for which we need innovative people, with strong commercial acumen, who are passionate about visualising and implementing customer needs. Launched as an Executive Agency of the Cabinet Office in 2018, we’re a relatively new department and we are growing fast so we also need people who thrive in a fast paced environment, can adapt quickly to change and are comfortable stepping outside of their remit to drive wider benefits.
Best wishes,
Mark
