Media centre wins industry award

Creative Space Management won a coveted Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) facilities management award at the recent ceremony held at London’s Intercontinental Hotel on Park Lane.

Against stiff competition from some of the biggest names in the property world, Creative Space won the award for Strategic Business Management in front of Land Securities, Scottish Water and Jones Lang LaSalle. Their award was the work that they have undertaken on Round Foundry Media Centre on behalf of Yorkshire Forward, the Regional Development Agency for Yorkshire Forward.

RICS judge, Peter McLennan said:“What is singular about Round Foundry Media Centre is that it clearly demonstrates how committed professionals with a customer-focused appreciation of the service operations requirements for a particular sector, can transform a constrained building in a blighted neighbourhood, into an internationally acknowledged centre of excellence”.

Creative Space was appointed to operate Round Foundry Media Centre in 2006 although most of the team have been involved since it opened in 2004.  Yorkshire Forward developed the Centre to support the growth of the creative and digital sector in the region and since then over 150 businesses have been supported creating 200 new jobs.
