Blackburn & Co. provides Project Management and Professional Consultancy advice to investors, developers, landlords, funders, pension funds and occupiers across a diverse sector and property type.
The business is built upon many years of experience within larger more established practices and the ambition to take the 'lessons learned' from these companies and apply them into a more focused bespoke environment. This benefits our clients and helps us exceed their expectations in deliverability.
Our goal is to be the very best in what we do and to ensure that our clients enjoy working with us with the benefit of knowing that we deliver time and time again.
