Our History
CBGA Property Management has quickly established itself as 'the small company with the big reputation'. This reputation for punching above its weight continues today.
Innovation and lateral thinking have been key to this success. A no-nonsense common sense approach helps too, and a willingness to try a new way of doing things. Our focus has been on bringing increased professionalism to property management, by introducing rigour and discipline to the process, and offering access through affiliated companies to Health and Safety, and Facilities Management. |
