“Brooklands is a prime example of how M&G Real Estate is continuing to invest, reposition, and develop high quality, ESG-led office assets across the UK and Europe’s major towns and cities, to command premium rents from local and international occupiers which have sustainability and employee wellbeing at the heart of their business plans.”

Project team

Carl Bennett

Carl Bennett

Director

After joining SDC in 2004, Carl was employed as a Site Manager, Design Coordinator, and Contracts Manager. The experience he gained in all three professions led him to be promoted to the role of Board Director in 2020. His duties and responsibilities include setting the overall strategy for the project, as well as leading the project team and ensuring the scheme is delivered within the client’s time, quality and budget constraints. It is Carl’s previous experience in the construction of large office developments (such as those on the Cambridge Science Park), that makes him the ideal choice when selecting a Director to oversee this scheme.
