Hunters expands North West presence with four new branches

Estate agency Hunters has given its presence in the North West a significant boost after welcoming Sure Move’s four offices to its expanding UK-wide network.

The estate agents’ branches in St Helens, Widnes, Runcorn and Leigh are now part of the Hunters business and join 14 others already established in the region.

Founded in York 23 years ago, today Hunters operates more than 170 offices across the country.

Lee Andrews, who previously set up his own estate agency, is the franchise owner in charge of the four new Hunters offices. He commented: “We noticed Hunters’ fast growing presence in the North West and wanted to be a part of this.

“Having previously opened four offices in five years, we felt it was important to work with a company that shared the same ethics we have and we saw Hunters had this similar desire to grow rapidly.”

He added: “We were also impressed with the marketing support Hunters offer along with the dedicated training academy.”

Lee will be supported by a team of 18, including five new recruits, working across the four branches.

The managing director of Hunters Property Plc, Glynis Frew, said of the deal: “We currently have some excellent franchise partners who operate successful branches in areas such as Worsley, Manchester, Oldham, Liverpool and Saddleworth and are excited to be strengthening our presence in the North West.

“We are delighted to have Sure Move on board and look forward to what promises to be a very successful future working together under the Hunters umbrella.”
