Leaders expansion plans continue

July 12, 2016

Estate agents Leaders  added eight new branches to its national network in the last month according to a news update on their website yesterday.

The company completed three acquisitions  (Watson Mitchell, Hollier Browne and Allen Estates)  in different parts of the country between 8th June and 6th July, bringing its total number of branches to 123 in the process.

Matthew Light, acquisitions director at Leaders, says: “Adding eight new Leaders branches in three key markets is fantastic news and allows us to bring our range of sales and lettings services to even more people.

“We are just as thrilled to be expanding our existing presence in Essex as we are to be arriving in the UK’s second city, Birmingham, for the first time.

“Having acquired more than 20 branches in the Midlands since April 2015, we have shown we are committed to reaching the top of this important market. Our new premises in Birmingham will bridge the gap between our existing offices in the West and East Midlands, while further branches in Stamford and Bedford help to widen our reach across the region.”
