To transition to head of office agency for our northern region is a natural step for Joe and our fantastic team will further prosper under his leadership.
“We are also delighted to announce the appointment of Neil Mort to our property management team as his unrivalled experience will bring a new viewpoint to the division and provide superb insight to our clients.”
