Canvas Offices appoints finance director

London-based flexible workspace provider Canvas Offices has appointed Kit Naidoo as finance director as the business continues to expand across the capital and explore new growth opportunities overseas.

Kit brings experience from both the Big Four accountancy sector and the flexible workspace industry, with a track record of leading finance functions and supporting business growth at different stages of development.

In her new role, she will provide strategic financial leadership, support the integration of new technologies and help guide the company’s continued expansion as it seeks to increase market share and strengthen its position within the flexible workspace sector.

Kit said: “The role of finance is continuously evolving and has now moved beyond just numbers. 

“For me, it’s about working closely with the leadership team to help deliver a proactive strategy that really shapes and helps drive growth.

“Canvas Offices is at a really exciting stage, where one of my initial priorities will be building core financial and operational foundations that will support the business as it continues to scale. 

“This includes embedding more agile systems to enable faster, smarter decisions, while allowing the business to respond proactively to industry trends and developments. 

“I am already enjoying working with the team and look forward to playing a key role in this next growth phase.”

Founded in 2018 by Yaron and Oren Rosenblum, Canvas Offices has developed a portfolio of 16 design-led office buildings across London, including locations in Mayfair, Shoreditch and Holborn.

Kit’s appointment comes during a period of growth for the business, which reports an average occupancy rate of 92 per cent across its portfolio and counts brands including Rough Trade, StockX, Footballco and Augustinus Bader among its occupiers.

Yaron added: “We’re excited to welcome Kit to Canvas Offices. 

“She brings impressive financial expertise, together with a modern and collaborative approach to leadership that aligns perfectly with our culture and ambitions for future growth and development – particularly when it comes to technology. 

“Having already made an early impact, we are in no doubt that her people-focused mindset and strategic approach will be invaluable as we continue to expand the Canvas brand and strengthen our position within the flexible workspace market.”
