“Samantha has a long and successful track record in implementing sales strategy across the construction insurance industry.

We’re excited to have Samantha on board.”
360DEGREES REFURBISHMENT
Cobalt Square. MCR, the
A
property’s owner, has harnessed 360Degrees’ expertise in Category A fit- outs to add value for prospective tenants. With 17 storeys, a
prime location at Five Ways in Birmingham’s central business district and convenient access to local amenities, Cobalt Square offers plenty of scope to potential tenants. In fact, MCR is set to use one of the refurbished floors as its base in the city. “When attracting tenants, it’s vital to give old building stock
like Cobalt Square a new lease of life – yet it’s equally important that the site becomes operational as quickly and cost-effectively as possible,” explains John Poole of MCR.
“360Degrees impressed us with their balance between inspirational design and practical attention to the requirements of Category A.” For Cobalt Square, MCR wanted something different from other buildings already on the market in the Birmingham area. 360Degrees has left ceilings exposed and minimised the use of floor coverings for a raw, modern feel. Each floor is zoned into thirds, giving tenants the flexibility
to take up as much or as little space as required for their business needs.
