July 1, 2016

Sweett Group is delighted to secure three high-profile project wins, offering a wide range of services, for three prestigious clients in London.

We will provide multidisciplinary services to the BCO to support a 4-year research study for the Civil Service Government Hubs Programme. The project is a rationalisation programme that will create multi-departmental hubs in around 18-20 strategic locations across the country. The rationalisation will not only achieve significant financial savings but will also provide buildings which will enable and promote new and collaborative ways of working across government.

Jenny Mac Donnell, Director of Research and Policy at the BCO said:

'We are delighted to work in partnership with the Government Property Unit (GPU) on this extensive research study. The BCO recognises this project has the potential to be the largest and most influential study of its kind within the UK and, potentially, globally'.

'The residences, which form part of a wider estate plan, will provide students with modern rooms and study spaces, shared facilities, and common areas. With more student accommodation, the University will be able to guarantee residential places to more students'.
