Property consultancy Fletcher Bond has signed for a larger Manchester headquarters on the fifth floor of GGM Properties’ 61 Mosley Street on a five-year lease.
The firm, which is celebrating its tenth anniversary this year, was previously located on the first floor of the building. The new headquarters spans 2,000 sq ft and features a boardroom, two meeting rooms and space for up to 26 staff.
Rory Dillon, founder of Fletcher Bond, said: “We have always had our headquarters at 61 Mosley Street and have enjoyed a strong relationship with GGM Properties. Having outgrown our previous office space and with plans to triple in size over the next three years, we needed a larger base and were happy to stay at the same location. The move itself went very smoothly. Our operations director Rob Charnock did a sterling job in masterminding the process, with great support from Cosmin.
“Our new office represents much more than a change of accommodation. It reflects our ongoing commitment to the three things that matter most to us – our clients, our colleagues and collaboration. As Fletcher Bond continues to grow, we look forward to welcoming new clients with complex restructuring and property requirements, while also looking to expand our team further.
“We see opportunities in helping lenders navigate increasingly complicated property portfolios, particularly where private credit is involved or where inexperienced borrowers have run into difficulties with high-risk or part-complete developments.”
Cosmin Armene, property and construction solicitor at North West law firm Bermans, which advised Fletcher Bond on the lease, added: “It is great to see Fletcher Bond continuing to expand and it’s been an absolute pleasure to work with Rory and the team to facilitate and formalise their Manchester office move. Bermans is delighted to have supported them during this exciting period of growth for the business. We wish them every success for the future and look forward to working with them in the years ahead.”
Peter Smith, national group business manager at GGM Properties, said: “We’ve always had a great working relationship with Rory, and the success Fletcher Bond has achieved over the last 10 years is a great credit to him and his team. It’s been very pleasing to see the business flourish and, having outgrown its previous office and moved to a refurbished space, we wish everyone at Fletcher Bond well going forward.”
