We’re delighted to have secured the property at Festival Park and we’re grateful to Richard and the Mounsey team at Mounsey Chartered Surveyors for their support throughout the acquisition. We can’t wait to get started.”
For Mounsey Chartered Surveyors, this deal demonstrates the value of understanding an occupier’s wider requirements and finding a property that can support their long-term plans.
