On that note, we thought it was high time you met some of the team that make the BDC the welcoming and well-oiled machine that it is. And which better person to start with than one of our longest-standing team members and front of house extraordinaire, Ed Muboro.
Ed is one of the smiling faces that greets you at reception when you walk through our doors and is the go-to guy for just about everything BDC related. An expert all-rounder, Ed is in charge of managing the front of house, supervising security and introduces our residents to the building’s health and safety protocols.
He has been a firm fixture at the BDC for over 25 years and is a highly respected member of staff, having seen our building go through many changes and evolve into the world-class centre it is today (with his help, of course).
Ed is a firm favourite among building newcomers, who are treated to one of his famous induction tours. During these he shares his fascinating wealth of knowledge on our historic venue. Recently celebrating a milestone birthday (we’ll leave it to you to guess which one), Ed shows no signs of slowing down. As well as a history buff, he is a keen fitness enthusiast and runner. Although he didn’t attend the recent London marathon, outside of work hours you can typically find him running down Regent’s Canal or dancing the night away at a salsa class.
So, with some early afternoon downtime at reception, we snatched him away from his usual spot at our concierge desk to ask him a few questions and find out a bit more about him and his role here at the BDC. Here’s how it went…
Thanks, Ed, for answering all our hard-hitting questions and for all the great work and positive energy you bring to the BDC.
If you would like to find out more about what we have in store here, then visit our Whats On page. Or, if you are looking for a new office space and fancy being welcomed by Ed and the rest of the team each morning, why not browse our available showrooms and offices?
The Business Design Centre has made some key appointments over the last few months. Find out more about our new team members…
Here at the BDC, we are partial to an after-work social and we are extremely fortunate to be located in the very heart of Angel, home to some of the best bars and pubs in all of London.
At the BDC, we’re home to over 100 businesses, which means that come lunchtime, many hungry professionals are on the hunt for a satisfying meal.
