Working with the Aston University and contractor, Overbury, handover has now been achieved in the city centre location know as the Citadel.  The building provides a new home for the University’s senior leadership team with work and meeting spaces throughout the refurbished building. Operationally carbon net zero, the new spaces provide a modern, innovative take on the traditional function of the chancellery.

Professor Aleks Subic, Vice-Chancellor and Chief Executive of Aston University, said:

“I am delighted that the Cadbury family has agreed to our flagship building in the city centre being named after John Cadbury, the founder of the Cadbury business. His great grandson, Sir Adrian Cadbury, served as Aston University’s Chancellor for 25 years and we retain close links with the family to this day.

“The landmark acquisition of this building represents our major civic commitment as an urban university to the regeneration of Birmingham city centre and the prominent location in Corporation Street will provide a strategic space for engagement with our diverse communities, businesses and entrepreneurs.”

We have been joined this year by two new members of staff in response to a growing workload and the delivery of more project through to construction.
