In a council owned building - recently built. Neat conduit instalation
dropping mains down to a spur outlet feeding a convector heater.

But - partway down the wall was a Besa Box with a room thermostat that
controls the heater. Mmmm!

If it is conduit, the thermostat could easily be wired after the FCU.

I was thinking about the heater affecting the thermostat.

It would make the heating cheaper to run.

A fan heater has the thermostat built in. Central heating rads a
thermostatic valve attached to them

And whole house central heating mostly has separate thermostats.

It is bad practice to place a thermostat where it will be "directly"
influenced by the output of the heater. Having it a couple of feet above an
electric convector will assure that the heating turns off as soon as the
heater starts to output any useful heat.

However, I would assume that both heating systems would not be in use at
the same time.

Yes and no. A convector works by pulling in cold air and heating it. And
the room temperature is never going to be totally even. So you may just
need to set the thermostat at a higher figure to get it to arrive at the
temperature you want, if it isn't on the other side of the room from the
heater.
