Appointment of property specialists - Montagu Evans

We are pleased to announce that we have recently secured the appointment of Montagu Evans, one of the UK’s leading property specialists to lead us through the next phases of our work on the Clair Hall site.

There is no doubt that we are in a challenging financial climate. With current high inflation costs and the volatility of market conditions creating significant risks to investment in cultural facilities the ability of interested parties to secure the necessary funding is severely hampered often making schemes unviable.

However, our goal remains to secure a cultural anchor tenant who can deliver a cultural and leisure offer for the whole of the Mid Sussex Community now and in the future, in a modern fit for purpose venue on the Clair Hall site and we believe that the appointment of Montagu Evans, who have partnered with creative consultant, Augarde Consulting provides us with the best chance of success.

The invitation to tender document used to engage Montagu Evans is now available on the engagement hub site, in the reports section, and we will provide further updates in the new year as work progresses.
