We are supporting both private and public sector clients across a growing number of sectors in ways our competition cannot. We continue to invest in the future and are pleased to welcome three new recruits into the team, within our Liverpool and Manchester building surveying and project management teams. All three are on RICS career paths to become chartered Surveyors and Project Managers.”
CBRE’s Project and Cost Management Team, headed up by two Senior Directors Jason McEwen and Stephen Williamson, has enjoyed a successful year as the team continues to establish itself as a growing force. The team is working on two of Greater Manchester’s most exciting developments, ID Manchester and The Salford University Master Plan, providing strategic project and cost management advice.
The team is also managing the delivery of the revised master plan at Merseyway, Stockport, which is shaping the retail heart of the town centre and has recently been appointed by other Local Authorities.
Jason McEwan, Senior Director, CBRE’s Project Management team commented:
“We are looking to support the right projects for the right clients and, working closely with our Planning and Development teams, we are able to provide an unrivalled strategic consultancy offering, from project inception, through delivery and into use.”
