The corporate landlord model for managing a corporate estate involves centralising the ownership and management of all property assets under a single entity or department within an organisation. This approach leads to many benefits including a single point of accountability for property management, ensuring better oversight and control, reducing risks associated with property management.

Interviews will be held on the 23rd April 2025.
