Newcastle property firm to invest £2.1bn to double portfolio

A Newcastle-based professional landlord company has announced plans to expand its holdings across the UK.

Grainger plc has a portfolio of over 9,000 rental properties and plans to invest over £2bn to double its properties within five years.

This year, Grainger has launched schemes in Southampton, Salford, and most recently; London (Windlass Apartments in Tottenham Hale and Apex Gardens in Seven Sisters) and The Headline, Leeds.

Grainger has also appointed the Manchester-based PR firm Brazen to help spread awareness campaigns for the expansion plans.

Julie Deighton, head of communications at Grainger said: “This is an exciting time for Grainger and we wanted an agency partner that could match our ambitions.

“We were impressed with Brazen’s creativity and proven track record in managing multiple projects in different locations concurrently. They’ve brought with them ideas that will work not just at a national level but that will draw the right focus and attention to each of our schemes locally, giving them the consideration they deserve.”

Peter Burling, client services director at Brazen PR, said: “We’re an agency with national reach that understands the importance of a local approach.

“We’re delighted to be partnering with such an exciting business that lives and breathes its values.

“We’ll help make the Grainger brand a recognisable seal of quality for anyone looking for high quality rental homes from a trusted landlord that cares about them, their wellbeing, their local communities and the environment.”
