After more than 12 months of work on two major projects, Manidis Roberts has officially opened its doors to a Barton office in the national capital.

Led by Kath Elliott, the 10 person team includes some long term Manidis Roberts people, such as Cameron Mackintosh and Paula Nott, who have relocated to Canberra.

The team has recently been boosted by the appointment of Greg Friedewald. Greg has spent the last seven years as chief-of-staff to the Chief Minister of the ACT.

Last Thursday night saw the official launch of the Manidis Roberts brand into Queensland.

After months of planning, site selection and getting resources the Queensland office held its official opening, attended by over 40 of the state's key decision makers within both the property sector and government agencies as well as some of our existing clients including Incitec Pivot, RLMS, United Group and others.

The launch, held at the Conrad Treasury Hotel, marks an important milestone in the evolution of the business and reinforced the decision by the board to head north.

Three leaders – Tara Glastonbury, Belinda Wilkes and Rodney Lindsell – have been offered ownership of Manidis Roberts. These three talented people will join the six employees who currently own the company.
