Jobs on the cards as property consultancy relocates Harborough base

Fisher German is set to move into a new office building in Market Harborough and says it will create a number of local jobs as a result.

The property consultancy – which has a history in the town dating back more than 200 years – is relocating from its Grade II listed office on the High Street to new premises at Innovation House on Welland Business Park.

The new 5,378 sq ft office is currently undergoing a fit-out, with staff expected to move in this September.

The firm’s former office is expected to be turned into residential accommodation once planning permission is secured.

Fisher German was established in 2000 after the merger of Fisher Hoggarth and Germans, with Fisher Hoggarth’s history in Market Harborough dating back to 1819.

Anna Collins, associate director at Fisher German, said: “We are extremely excited to announce the launch of our new office in Market Harborough.

“The new, modern space will better reflect our working practices and aspirations while ensuring that we can continue to grow within Market Harborough.

“It is in a fantastic location on a mixed-use business park based just outside the town centre, benefitting from parking for both staff and those visiting, and it is good to know that the development of our office in High Street will be extremely positive and add vibrancy to the town centre.

“We have a long history in the town and are dedicated to further strengthening our presence and continuing to invest in the local area.

“Our new office will support the firm as it continues to grow, and we are currently advertising for a number of positions in surveying, agency and client accounting.

“It will also support the welfare of our people, providing them with the best possible working environment as we focus on collaborative working between teams.

“We now look forward to the completion of the re-fit and welcoming people from across the area when we officially open.”
