Trammell Crow Savills (TCS) has launched an 'e-concierge' service to help its clients' staff balance their work and personal commitments. The service is being piloted at Ernst & Young, where TCS offers online access to shopping, dry cleaning and car valeting.

TCS general manager at E&Y, Paul McLoughlin, says: “Traditional salary and pension packages do not always go far enough towards incentivising the workforce. Employees now expect, and receive, a number of ‘softer’ benefits, and it is these that ease the day to day stress at work and therefore contribute enormously to building employee loyalty, as well as enhancing and improving individuals’ productivity. Our objective is to provide a range of personal services within the workplace to create excellent employee morale and reduce staff downtime.“

l Trammell Crow Savills has appointed Nas Bengouirah, as European Operations Manager based in Paris. M. Bengouirah will take special responsibility for southern Europe, specifically France, Spain and Italy.

Bengouirah is a veteran of the French telecomms industry, having run his own company for ten years, providing facilities management services to clients such as France Telecom, AT&T, BT, Cisco and Intel.

“I am very pleased to be joining Trammell Crow Savills as they embark upon major expansion in Europe. I have recognised that they represent, above all of their competitors, the future for outsourcing on a global scale," said M.Bengouirah.

Marcus Dore has also been newly appointed as Account Manager to join the Trammell Crow Savills transaction management team. Dore has extensive experience in property development and in the corporate real estate markets of Australia and Asia.
