Labbate joins Tebbutt as Box Property takes shape

Frankie Labbate has left his job at FHP to join Ben Tebbutt’s new Box Property business as a director.

Labbate follows Tebbutt after six years at FHP where he specialised in retail and leisure.

Commenting on his departure from FHP, Labbate tweeted: “After six great years with FHP it’s time to move onto a new chapter with Box Property. Good times ahead and lots of business to be done.”

Last month, Tebbutt showed his hand by leaving FHP after 20 years at the company.

John Proctor, director at FHP, said: “We really do wish Ben well. His focus and interests have developed in such a way that it makes sense for him to continue them under a new guise.

“Ben’s departure opens new opportunities for FHP and will benefit other people within the business. We’re also looking to make one or two key appointments to continue our expansion plans, so this is as much an opportunity for FHP as it is for Ben.”
