Philip R. Parris is one of the most familiar figures and a leader in the worldwide office business center industry. Mr. Parris' background begins with commercial real estate development in the United Kingdom. Later, he established and served as Chief Executive of Harvard Managed Offices, premier business centers in the London area. In 1992, Mr. Parris founded the Global Office Network as the first international network of independent business centers. Later, Mr. Parris and his partners revolutionized the network concept by establishing Locartis to meet the increasing demands of multinational clients. In the interim, Mr. Parris served as the Chairman of two of the industry's leading trade organizations, the BCA in the United Kingdom, and the OBCAI in the US--the only person in the world to have held both positions. Mr. Parris continues to be a frequent speaker at regular trade events around the world.
History: For over 15 years, the principals of Locartis Business Center Services have operated industry leading office business centers in prominent business locations in the US and United Kingdom. These centers were since the beginning designed to appeal to major and multinational corporate tenants seeking the flexibility of an office business center with an unprecedented level of facilities and service quality necessary to maintain or enhance their business market image. Today, Locartis affiliated centers have provided and continue to provide office services to many of the world's leading corporations.

In 1999, Philip Parris, one of the worldwide industry's leaders, established the Locartis - the global group of independently operated office business centers. The goal of Locartis was twofold: to provide multinational clients a single source for worldwide services and to give the best independent operators the marketing services necessary to reach out to major corporate users. To meet the expectations of a sophisticated client base, Locartis became the first (and only) group to provide clients with center classifications at each location to provide consistent quality standards and amenities. Today, Locartis has over 150 affiliated centers around the world and continues to expand.

The expertise developed by Philip Parris and associates has now expanded in to the formation of Locartis Business Center Services. This business concept is based on the well proven principles of hotel operating management extended to office buildings. The principals and associates of Locartis Business Center Services bring together expertise specific to office business centers in areas such space design; operations; training; sales and marketing encompassing every single aspect of building and operating a full range office business center.
