Holistic welcomes three new names to its client list. Architectural practice Assael is known for its mixed-use, regeneration and residential work; while leading US agent Studley is dedicated entirely to occupier clients – and looking to strengthen its UK presence. Newly formed MPG Shreeves, whose time we’ll be maximising at MIPIM 2010, provides cost consultancy and project management services. We look forward to raising the profiles of all three new clients.
This will be Holistic's seventh year at MIPIM. Sophie and Victoria will be in Cannes helping clients navigate the Palais, Croissette and marina, as well as networking and doing business. We’ve secured meetings and filled our clients’ itineraries – so they can get the best return on their MIPIM investment. Why not get in touch and arrange to meet us if you’re going to be there? Or come and see us on the London stand. Victoria will also be on Twitter throughout the event – you can follow her at @vconnell1.
HLM Architects, a long-standing Holistic client, invited Sophie to see progress at one of its projects: Wood View Learning Community in Plymouth. She was impressed by the way the campus brings together and stimulates children of all ages, needs and situations. As she toured the school, Sophie was inspired by ' ... good architecture in action – not for its own sake, but to create a quality educational environment with a strong community and social focus.'
We've spent much of the 12 months since January 2009 strengthening Osborne’s position after a leadership change. As part of our campaign, Chief Executive David Fison shared a stage at the Ecobuild conference with Nick Raynsford MP, Paul Drechsler (Chairman and CEO of Wates) and National Housing Federation CEO, David Orr, giving his views on the tough challenges facing construction in 2010.
