Expanding commercial property firm sets up new city centre base

A northern commercial property specialist has opened a new office in city centre following a year of growth.

Bradley Hall has relocated its Leeds team to a 1,600 sq ft Yorkshire head office at 6 Park Place, close to Park Square.

The move will see the firm double its headcount in the city over the next 12 months as it looks to meet growing client demand from across West Yorkshire.

Bradley Hall first launched its Leeds office two and a half years ago, specialising in valuations and building surveying, and under the leadership of director David Cran has expanded rapidly, having reported a 175% growth in turnover at the close of the financial year.

Cran said: “Despite launching our Leeds arm just prior to the pandemic, when so much uncertainty surrounded the commercial property markets, we’ve continued to grow our presence across West Yorkshire and the increasing demand from clients is testament to the fantastic work our teams have put in to help us establish our presence in the region.

“Looking forward, our goal over the next 12 months is to continue building on this success and establishing our presence in the region by adding to our team and continuing to form and strengthen relationships with businesses and clients across Leeds and the wider City Region.”

Bradley Hall has also committed to creating a number of graduate roles to help more young people get their foot onto the career ladder and supporting them through their chartered Assessment of Professional Competence (APC) training.

Lynsey Clarke, associate director, said: “We’re committed to creating opportunities for local people and especially those looking to break into the industry, so it’s fantastic to see our graduate programme already proving a hit among university leavers.”

Neil Hart, group managing director, added: “Our Leeds and Yorkshire branch has snowballed under David’s leadership.

“We look forward to growing our presence in the city and playing a key role in its business community and the projects which influence its built environment moving forward.

“We have had a great deal of success in the North East since Bradley Hall was formed in 1988 and we look forward to continue building on this success across West Yorkshire.”

Bradley Hall now has nine offices across the North East and Yorkshire.
