The Challenge: Innes England opened its Birmingham office in April 2022 to establish a stronger foothold in the West Midlands commercial property market. While the company had an existing presence in the region, a dedicated office was needed to better serve clients, secure key instructions, and expand valuation, agency, and asset management services. The challenge was to compete in a fast-moving market, attract new clients, and demonstrate tangible value to landlords, developers, investors and financial institutions.
The Challenge: Arthur Johnson and Sons Auctioneers, a historic Nottingham business established in 1888, faced the potential loss of their statutory right to a lease renewal due to ongoing redevelopment threats in the area.
