CBRE has re-opened its north west offices this week with staff returning to the Manchester and Liverpool offices.
The global real estate firm is introducing staff back in a phased approach and in accordance with government guidance, it said.
This comes as CBRE recently announced it was commenced building inspections and viewings on behalf of clients in line with government and RICS compliant procedures which prioritise the safety and well-being of staff and clients.
The Manchester and Liverpool offices will follow CBRE’s internal guidelines for office re-opening which include complying with local government requirements; adapting space to ensure social distancing; adhering to cleaning and hygiene supply protocols and posting instructional signage.
Bringing employees back to the office has been based on factors that include community readiness, work-from-home options, commuting issues and consideration for any employees who may be at-risk.
John Ogden, managing director of CBRE’s Northern business, said: “Our incredible teams across the North West have adapted exceptionally well throughout these last few weeks to continue to support and advise our valued clients.
“We quickly and proactively responded to the situation, with our highly talented staff implementing multiple strategies to enable service continuation.
“This tenacious, entrepreneurial approach by our professional teams, supported by our leading technologies, has played a key role in keeping us connected. We are pleased to now be in a position to safely welcome staff back into the offices and for viewings and inspections to take place.”
