Record 12 months for property management firm

A property management firm has hailed a record 12 months after securing a raft of major contracts in the region.

Leeds-based ECO Integrated Property Solutions has continued its expansion strategy with a recently-opened London office as well as expanding its role in the national healthcare sector.

Founded in 2003 to provide property and engineering support to the commercial sector, the Drighlington company manages more than 2,000 properties across the UK and has expanded its portfolio to include management of healthcare, education, retail, leisure and community projects across the UK.

With 10 new properties secured in 2017 including offices in Sheffield and commercial sites in London, its latest venture is advising on and implementing the estate-wide facilities management strategy for Paradigm, Leeds’ only major out-of-town office development currently on the market.

The 31,650 sq ft site at Thorpe Park Leeds, is owned by Scarborough International Properties and Legal & General Capital which appointed ECO IPS to prepare the building for letting while providing support throughout the next phases of development.

ECO IPS also welcomed director of consultancy, David Robinson, who joined the 20-strong team last month with a commercial property background with firms including Knight Frank and GVA.

Andrew Walker, ECO IPS managing director, said: “While facilities management remains at the heart of what we do we have evolved and grown so much that we had to re-think the way we portrayed the business, resulting in a new look and new positioning.

“We now service clients from the south coast to Inverness including care homes and high-spec office buildings from our bases in Yorkshire and London. The work we have done on Paradigm has cemented our position as a major player in the total property solutions market, not just in the region, but nationally.

“Bringing in David and opening our London office have marked an already incredible year for us and we’re looking forward to even greater growth over the coming months and years.”

ECO IPS’s clients include Savills, River Island, Sheffield United FC, Laing O’Rourke and Lifeways.
