People: Island Quarter hires project manager; Trio in at Viridis; Trainees for Timms

For me, it is particularly remarkable to play a role in bringing it to fruition as I’ve lived in Nottingham for almost 30 years, it’s the place I call home, and I’m excited to create a space the city will benefit from for generations to come.”
