Purpose:

Content: Question from Graham Smith, St Mabyn   Why in August 2024 did the Council’s estate agents for privatising Newquay Airport, CBRE, assume responsibility for the employment of the airport’s technical facilities’ supervisor and how does this not represent a conflict of interest.   A response was read to the Committee as follows:   Cornwall Airport Ltd have appointed CBRE Global Work Solutions (CBRE GWS) to undertake facilities management of the airport including cleaning, compliance and tenant services. Any individuals delivering that contract are employed directly by CBRE GWS.   CBRE GWS Ltd is a separate legal entity to CBRE Ltd and there is no connection between the GWS team and anyone from the CBRE team involved in Project Corduroy.
