Charles TaylorOn behalf of Charles Taylor plc I just wanted to say a big “thank you” to Julie Rees and her team at GN2, they have worked tirelessly over the last 24 months to assist in delivering a set of stratified real estate solutions to enable the rationalisation of three buildings into 58,000 sqft of new London headquarters. The project was complex and we set the success criteria very high but at every turn or hurdle GN2 rose to the challenge and exceeded our expectations. I value GN2 as a trusted partner and look forward to working with them again in the future. Tass Patsalides, Group Property Director
