Brooks Macdonald sets up shop in Leamington

A SPECIALIST asset management firm has extended its UK office network after opening a new regional office in Leamington.

Brooks Macdonald Asset Management (BMAM) has moved into its new office – at Hamilton Terrace – taking its total number of bases to 11 across the mainland UK and Channel Islands.

Brooks Macdonald Plc employs 376 staff across the UK and offshore and the opening of its Leamington office is expected to enable further recruitment opportunities later this year.

The new office will be led by Mike Divers, who has relocated from the firm’s head office in London’s Mayfair.

Divers, who has 13 years’ experience as an investment director, hopes the Leamington office will strengthen local services provided by the firm, enabling it to continue to develop its client base across the Midlands.

He said: “The property is a great reflection of our corporate image and its central location enables us to extend our services right across the Midlands.

“Our move to one of Leamington Spa’s prime business areas allows us to establish new relationships with clients in the region, while ensuring that our existing local clients receive the highest possible standards of service.

“We are also looking forward to continuing to expand the Leamington team and hope to create a number of employment opportunities in the local area.”  

Commercial property agents Wareing & Company marketed the detached building and arranged the letting to the firm.

Director Bill Wareing said: “It is always good to attract inward investors to the area – and equally good to have new neighbours.

“Hamilton Terrace is an extremely popular business location and has become a hub for professional businesses particularly those within the financial and legal sectors.”
