Cushman & Wakefield expands
The Birmingham office of property services company Cushman & Wakefield has doubled its asset management team in the past two years. The Colmore Row-based team, which opened up in the Midlands in 2008, is now 60 strong.
The asset management division is headed by Phillip Taylor and includes surveyors, accountants, facilities managers, health and safety experts and support staff.
The team is responsible for looking after a wide portfolio of local and national instructions, and its client list includes blue chip names such as Standard Life Investments, Aviva Investors, Rockspring LLP, IM Properties, Royal and Sun Alliance and Land Securities.
Taylor said: “The asset management team only opened for business in earnest in September 2008. We believe we have already become a force to be reckoned with, not just in Birmingham but the wider Midlands as well.
“We have a very considerable team, which has a wealth of experience, and that has been reflected by the quality of the instructions we have won in the past year.”
