14-04-2010 - Vodafone picks agents for international property advice

Property Week, April 14, 2010
By Jennifer Rigby

Vodafone has picked Colliers International, Cushman & Wakefield, DTZ and Jones Lang LaSalle as its preferred suppliers to advise on its international property portfolio.

It has consolidated the number of agents it uses down to four to improve operational efficiency.

The quartet will handle all real estate management across more than 20 markets across mainland Europe, central Europe and Africa, the Middle East and Asia Pacific, covering more than 3,000 properties.

They will cover transactional work for the properties, including network centres, offices, call centres and retail outlets, as well as the administration of real estate management in some markets.

Billy Davidson, group property director of Vodafone Group, said: "Having selected agents with suitable international coverage, we opted to negotiate at a country level with the agents’ local offices to ensure best prices and service models appropriate to each home market.

"Global discounts to these prices were then negotiated with the corporate offices by Vodafone at a group level, which is in line with our global reach with local roots philosophy.”
