Malcolm Hollis seeing MIPIM as one of most important events in calendar

Commercial building consultants Malcolm Hollis will be attending this year’s property trade fair in Cannes.

Chris Sullivan, partner responsible for Malcolm Hollis’s Midlands region and head of marketing in UK and Ireland, said: “We have been attending MIPIM for 12 years now and this has become one of our most important events in the calendar.

“It is more important now than ever to look after your existing clients and our presence this year reinforces that commitment. Naturally, we are also keen to meet new contacts and explore new opportunities and MIPIM has proved very successful for us on this front over the years. Testament to this is our largest development-monitoring project valued at around £450million which was won in Cannes six years ago, and many more instructions have come from the same event.

“For me, MIPIM is a great opportunity to not only promote Malcolm Hollis but also this great city, which has become my adopted hometown since I moved here nearly five years ago from London. As a chartered building surveyor I am really interested in architecture and am excited by what the Big City Plan has thrown up. I am particularly excited by the New Street redevelopment; it will be a real showcase for the city. Sure, the market is tough but with that comes opportunity and I’m sure Birmingham is up to the challenge; we certainly are.”

Malcolm Hollis is hosting a series of events from March 10 to 13 in Cannes and if you would like to meet Chris or attend one of these events, visit the company’s website www.malcolmhollis.com
