In April 2010 I decided that occupiers and developers needed a more independent level of adivse and set up my Coproate property Consultancy. The principles behind the consultancy are as follows. With real estate being one of the top three costs in a company, having the right partner is critical in finding operational efficiencies. At the heart of our clients’ success lays the collective expertise gained in all areas of the property sector. Through a collaborative approach understanding their needs, we help bridge their goals and challenges. No single solution can address different circumstances.
