Curry & Partners make strategic changes
INDEPENDENT property consultancy Curry & Partners has unveiled a new brand identity, streamlined structure – and larger Birmingham city centre offices.
Partner Paul Curry said the changes, which include taking on extra staff, were made to enable the company to meet the challenges of the post-recession workplace.
Unveiling a new logo design, he said the business, which employs more than 60 staff, had committed to an extra 4,000 square feet of office space at its Birmingham headquarters on Summer Row, which will house an enhanced, centralised accountancy department as well as the property management division.
It will also be the base for the expanding Midlands lettings team of seven, headed up by longstanding Curry & Partners employee and lettings expert Louise Kean, supported by Sian Cowley, who returns to Curry & Partners after a brief spell with a leading local estate agency.
“Since we first set up in Birmingham over 15 years ago, Curry & Partners has worked hard to established itself as one of the main property consultancies in the region,” he said.
“Despite the onslaught of the economic downturn, we have just broken through the 10,000 unit barrier of properties within our management, making us the largest residential/mixed use managing agent in Birmingham.
“We also have a growing commercial and residential management portfolio with over £500 million worth of property under management, plus associated insurance services.
“This has been no mean achievement in some of the worst months in recent times for the property sector. However, we have come out of this recession as winners by having a clear focus on the needs and expectations of the local marketplace.
“As the green shoots of economic recovery are starting to appear, we are now sending out a clear and brave signal that Curry & Partners is strong and that the Midlands commercial and residential property sector is ready to grow once more.”
