Pick Everard’s 150 year celebrations given French flavour at MIPIM

Duncan Green, managing partner at Pick Everard

Pick Everard’s 150 year celebrations will have a continental touch when the milestone is marked at this year’s MIPIM event.

MIPIM – the world’s largest international property event held annually in Cannes, France – has been attended by representatives from leading independent management, design and construction consultancy, Pick Everard for many years. This year the event, which runs from 15-18 March, will be attended by Pick Everard’s  managing partner, Duncan Green, senior partner, Jo Griffin-Shaw and partner, Alastair Hamilton.

On Tuesday March 15, there will be a cake and fizz at the Hounslow stand in the London area from 10am – 10.30am. All three Pick Everard partners at MIPIM will be there for the cake cutting and there will be a speech, too.  All delegates at MIPIM are welcome to attend.

Duncan Green, managing partner at Pick Everard, said: “150 years of Pick Everard is a very important milestone and we want to celebrate the firm’s historic past but also embrace our vision for the future, which highlights the firm’s ambition and goals for the future.  As well as marking the milestone with events and activities held across the UK throughout 2016, we wanted to invite attendees at MIPIM to join us in celebrating the landmark year.”

Back in the UK, a series of events and activities will be held throughout 2016 to mark Pick Everard’s anniversary year.  These will include the Pick Everard 150 5-Challenge which will involve employees, their family members and friends cycling, running, walking and carrying out good deeds in the community to mark its milestone year. The firm will also be holding celebratory events for staff members and clients.

Staff engagement has been an important part of the process with members of the Pick Everard team at all levels invited to make suggestions for how the milestone can be marked.

However, as well as looking at its history, the firm’s 150 year celebrations are very much about looking to the future.  Pick Everard has its new 2020 vision, highlighting the firm’s ambition for the coming years.
