Stamp Of Approval For Knight Frank

Knight Frank's building consultancy team has been bestowed with a gold standard supplier recognition award following its work on Royal Mail properties in Scotland.

Royal Mail presented Knight Frank's Aberdeen and Glasgow offices with the accolade after assessing the firm’s three-year contract work across Scotland.

This included an evaluation of the team’s performance and timeliness against the project budget.

The information was collated following a series of questionnaires from Royal Mail managers to give the firm an impressive score of 93%, earning them gold standard recognition.

Doug Garden, partner, Knight Frank said: "The building consultancy team works very hard to maintain high standards and deliver top notch results for our clients so we’re delighted to be recognised by Royal Mail in this way. We look forward to continuing our working relationship with them in the years to come."
