Invitation to Tender - Property's Role in Recessionary Times
The BCO wishes to commission an important research study looking at the position and perception of property in corporate balance sheets. This report sets out to debate whether property's role in delivering a profitable and efficient workforce is underestimated in difficult times.
The costs of occupation of office property in the UK are often perceived as relatively low in comparison to other costs such as staff and technology, but past economic downturns have shown us that property costs are often high on Financial Director's lists of first things to cut.Are there ways that landlords, managing agents and other service providers can work with their tenants to make office properties work more efficiently in difficult times?
Each year the BCO President will commission a piece of research on what he/she considers to be a key topic during their Presidential year. Nick Ridley, current BCO President, has decided to look at property's role in recessionary times.
