Meanwhile, Eddisons' property management team has also been appointed by Rushmoor Borough Council to manage the 375,000 sq ft Kingsmead and the Meads shopping centres in Farnborough, Hampshire on a three-year contract.

The company has also received a contract from the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA), which will see Eddisons provide lease advisory services for MPs' constituency offices across the UK.

Javid Patel, Eddisons’ head of the public sector strategic advisory team, said: "We are really excited to have added these latest clients to our public sector portfolio.

"Our approach is always to build collaborative relationships and help bring innovation, including using AI technologies, to aid the quality and speedier delivery of our services.

"Local authorities and other public sector bodies are increasingly looking to Eddisons for new ideas and direction on capital projects and masterplans and we are building a solid reputation for delivering expertise in areas such as residential, commercial portfolios and town centre regeneration.

"We look forward to growing our market share in the public sector still further as part of our wider strategic business plan."
