KWB provides its "personal touch" to business move

KWB, Birmingham’s leading independent office specialists, ended 2007 on a high – after sealing one of the two largest office transactions of the year within the ever expanding M42 corridor.

Within days of signing the new lease agreement for over 22,500 sq ft, formerly Knowle-based Personal Touch Financial Services had made the six-mile move from its three separate offices and taken over the remaining one-and-a-half floors at the Trinity Park T3 development, which is located right next to Birmingham International Airport and Railway Station.

In moving to T3 – billed as one of Birmingham’s most prestigious offices being marketed – Personal Touch, which employs more than 200 and boasts an annual turnover in excess of £100 million, joins neighbours international construction operators Laing O’Rourke and Morson International, one of the world’s leading technical recruitment companies.

Douglas Bonham, of KWB, said: “T3 provided the perfect solution to Personal Touch’s needs.  The building is of the highest grade ‘A’ standard and gives them the opportunity to effortlessly make the transition from three buildings into one.”

Julia Herdman, Financial Director for Personal Touch, said: “With the operation spread across three buildings in Knowle, we felt the need to fuse the business and bring everyone under one roof, into a prestigious building that met our current requirements and provided room for future expansion.  KWB delivered T3 to us.”
