Colmore Plaza, one of Birmingham’s most prestigious office developments, has appointed Carl Saunderson to the position of Building Manager.
Carl has extensive experience of Colmore Plaza, having worked on site for three years as an Integral Site Engineer and is passionate about developing the building’s already outstanding reputation.
In his role, Carl is responsible for the day-to-day running of the building, including contractual management and building strong relationships with tenants, a responsibility that he doesn’t take lightly.
Carl said: “I am of course absolutely delighted to have been successful in the interview process. Colmore Plaza is in my mind the most prestigious commercial development in Birmingham and I am committed to provide everyone, be they visitor or tenant, with a genuine ‘wow’ factor from the second that they walk through the front doors.
“While Colmore Plaza is already established as a market-leading building, with new commercial stock due to come on line over the next couple of years, we need to ensure that this position is enhanced and strengthened through new initiatives and development of existing services. I am looking forward to the opportunity to continue developing our key services and levels of customer care to enhance this position.”
In order to secure the role, Carl underwent an extensive interview process, fighting off strong competition.
Mark Harris, Managing Director, The Carlyle Group, said: “Carl is immensely proud and passionate about the building and demonstrated key criteria in the interview process, amongst other things his understanding of Colmore Plaza and his ability to articulate the aims and objective that we are all seeking. We are confident he will continue to develop a team that will deliver the highest standards of customer care and operational values.”
Colmore Plaza is one of the highest specification office buildings outside London and one of the only buildings in Birmingham to hold a BREEAM ‘Excellent’ rating for its highly efficient design. Building occupiers include Amey, Investec Wealth & Investment, Aecom & Davis Langdon, Orega, Aedas, Grant Thornton and Robert Half International.
