Property consultancy snags key role at Heathrow
Property consultancy Bruton Knowles, which has an office on Castle Gate in Nottingham, has been chosen to provide land agency services in support of Heathrow West’s application to develop a new terminal at Heathrow Airport.
The new terminal would provide capacity for up to 40 million passengers per year, and would service the proposed new North West runway.
James Bailey, managing partner at Bruton Knowles’ Nottingham office, will head up its Heathrow team.
He said: “Heathrow Airport is one of the UK’s leading assets, playing a vital role in the nation’s economy. As such, we are incredibly proud to be involved with the development of Heathrow West Limited’s plans to submit a development consent order (DCO) application later in 2020, an alternative to Heathrow Airport Limited’s (HAL) application.
“Bruton Knowles has a proven track record in the delivery of major projects for utility and infrastructure clients, spanning the last 30 years. Heathrow West Limited is a dynamic and innovative company and we look forward to supporting them in this application, which if successful, could deliver the Heathrow West project and further support the development of UK plc’s infrastructure.”
Carlton Brown, CEO of Heathrow West, added: “Bruton Knowles undoubtedly stands out from the crowd. Having witnessed first-hand their dedication, experience, deep understanding and sensitive handling of land referencing projects, Heathrow West Limited has no doubt that the consultancy is the right choice to support us in our proposals. We are confident in their ability to help us put forward the best solution for airport expansion.”
Bruton Knowles posted a record turnover of £13.85 million and profits of £2.3 million in 2018-19.
