NewsThe FOSKD Committee has been kept very busy over the last couple of months responding to various Licensing and Planning applications which a number of the retailers and tenants around the Docks have submitted. At the time of writing most of these are still awaiting hearings/decisions. More information about these matters will be discussed at our AGM on 29th September. Our regular meetings with the Blackstone management continue, with a notable addition to the team; Stephen Wallace-Jones has been appointed by Blackstone as the new Estate General Manager with effect as from 1st July 2015. Stephen’s appointment was confirmed as the contract with the former managing agents for the estate, Bilfinger GVA, was terminated on 30th June. We look forward to working with Stephen and the new team that he is assembling who will be based in the estate management office in International House. |
