Clients increasingly see the merit of taking serviced office space to meet the post-pandemic requirements of themselves and their employees, so 👍to all the team.

Many thanks to @AdamABeech for covering the project which @KWBOffice carried out for Colmore Capital and @LelyAtlantic Quartz Point is a great-looking business park, and the M42 corridor is certainly the place to be. https://t.co/uCVKk6ENuU @BCO_UK

@KWBOffice @propnews And also thanks to Lucy at @Glenn_Howells and Perry at @CoreBirmingham who (I am told) dovetailed to provide us with a lovely CGi of One Centenary Way to accompany my musings. 👍

[Malcolm Jones @M42Malcolm]

@jbolas @bbcmtd @IMProps They've been doing tremendous work for many years, but have so often slipped under the radar. Was great to spot them on C4 last month - so good to know they've also been featured on @bbcmtd too. 👍

@KWBOffice Competition will be tough. KWB is the city's largest independent, our clients are rightly demanding and ... the coffee's pretty decent too. Applicants should also keep an eye on the football results. Everton for me and Killie for @kgakenny but best not mention Wolves to JB. 😇

@MellSquare_UK I see desk diaries being (not so subtly) altered. ...
WED: In office all day. Research. ☹️

WED: Tiptoeing off to Solihull for a cheese toastie and mug of steaming goodness. 😇 #Tippex

@KWBOffice @UBCoffices @propnews @BCO_UK Intriguing to see that the serviced offices' sector grew by 4% during the first nine months of 2020. Timely reminder that it's essential to look for the data behind the headlines. Can't be distracted by the 'noise' - however loud it might be. 🤔

[Malcolm Jones @M42Malcolm]

@EvertonChicago @EvertonNewsFeed TBH, I was just having a quick caffeine break at work, looked on here, and thought ... 'Hmm'. Awful news re Digne.

[Malcolm Jones @M42Malcolm]

@KWBOffice Intriguing to see that the developer-investor who acquired that club also bought the Tamworth Arms - now being refurbished for a projected re-opening in Feb. 👍@tamworthherald @TamworthCouncil

[Malcolm Jones @M42Malcolm]

@propertypr @propnews Indeed. Time to remind #tech firms and #digital enterprises that city centres which are well-connected, diverse, culturally strong, and have links to HE and research institutions are the best place for them to acquire the social capital which underpins their business models. 😇

[Malcolm Jones @M42Malcolm]

@KWBOffice @GrBhamChambers Absolutely ... Great to see stalwarts of the business community taking space, but now we need to persuade the tech firms and digital enterprises that cities are still the place to be for them to acquire the social capital which underpins their business models. @BCO_UK

[Malcolm Jones @M42Malcolm]

@KWBOffice @SolihullCouncil @ardencrossuk Absolutely ... For a potential occupier (looking at a 15,000 sq ft HQ-style building at Meriden) to ask for an update on HS2-related schemes was quite the moment. Such space already at a premium on the M42 of course @bhatti_saqib

[Malcolm Jones @M42Malcolm]

@KWBOffice More info from me ... It's years since a unit was free on Topaz, but the growth of Barnett Waddingham meant they needed to double their space, so they went to Longbridge, and left their previous 10k building here. @BromStandard @BCO_UK #Bromsgrove

[Malcolm Jones @M42Malcolm]

Many thanks to @businessdeskwm for including my musings on Solihull and the M42 office market. Yes, Q2 was predictably grim, but we have c50k of inquiries and requirements there, and I expect the overwhelming majority to complete. https://t.co/tial3VnoGp

@KWBOffice @zoom_us @birmingham_bp Have to say, whilst an office on Newhall Street is great for many reasons, really wouldn't mind seeing this view every morning. 😇

[Malcolm Jones @M42Malcolm]

@gemassmer @KWBOffice @Yardi Am sure the Voyager platform will drive greater productivity/efficiencies into our #PropertyManagement operations. As for Procure to Pay - migrating from paper to online moves us along the pathway to sustainability. 👍

[Malcolm Jones @M42Malcolm]

@redditchrachel @KWBOffice @kgakenny @biocare Ah. Right. You probably met Jason and/or Emma then.
Yes, very much the type of high-skill enterprise everywhere is looking to attract, and (as you'll have seen) all their products and supplements are manufactured in the UK.
