Property firm on the move across Manchester

Property firm Avison Young has moved its two Manchester operations into a new office.

The firm has combined its two city centre offices and 200 staff into a much larger presence at Norfolk House.

The consolidation to a single office in Manchester will create a multi-discipline offer under one roof, to provide seamless and joined up advice for clients.

Avison Young opened its first office in Manchester at St James Square following the acquisition of WHR Property Consultants LLP in 2017.

In February 2019, Avison Young further expanded with the acquisition of GVA, which had itself recently undergone a major expansion with the acquisition of HOW Planning in May 2018.

Mark Williams, principal and regional managing director at Avison Young Manchester, said: “The consolidation of the two Avison Young offices in Manchester represents a significant step forward in the integration of three well known Manchester businesses.

“The Norfolk House office now has a staff of nearly 200, offering considerable resource, expertise and deep market knowledge to clients in the regional market, complemented by our enhanced national and global coverage.

“These are truly exciting times for Avison Young.”
