Leading provider of cost management, project management and advisory services Currie & Brown has recruited Michael Moore to join their growing team in Saudi Arabia. Previously with Cushman & Wakefield as the CEO in Saudi Arabia, Michael has worked on high-profile projects such as the Jeddah Tower and joins the organisation from Al Bawani. He brings with him expertise of more than 15 years in the Middle East, where he has achieved the successful delivery of added value projects for major clients. His experience will help Currie & Brown add value for clients, applying a proactive FM approach as opposed to the traditional ‘break then fix’ mindset that loses clients time and money in the longer term. Moore will be based in the company’s Riyadh office.
“End-users are becoming far more discerning and their expectations continue to increase. Ensuring FM is considered in the early phases of the development plays a fundamental role in the long-term appeal and value of the asset to the end user. For example, this could be a business renting restaurants, hotels and offices from the owner where ensuring air conditioning services are fully operational is essential to the success of the business,” says Moore. “I’m pleased to be joining the Currie & Brown team and contributing to the successful delivery of some of the world’s most exciting projects.”
James Irvine, senior director, KSA, Currie & Brown, says, “The range and depth of legislation covering the built environment is becoming more extensive and requires a more rigorous approach. Achieving compliance with the plethora of legislation, rules and regulations is at the core of the FM discipline and it is great to bring Michael to our growing team and to be able to offer clients this service.”
Currie & Brown employs more than 2500 people worldwide and plans to recruit another 80 people in Saudi Arabia by the end of this year.
