Family-run estate agency Cope&Co has expanded into Alfreton, Derbyshire, with the opening of a new office on King Street, following the appointment of Annie Cope as chief executive.
The Derby-based agency, which provides residential sales, lettings and property management services, already works with homeowners, landlords, investors and tenants across Alfreton. The new branch gives the business a permanent presence in the town, with the aim of attracting more local instructions and expanding its existing client base.
New CEO Leads Next Stage of Growth
Annie Cope's promotion to CEO means she will oversee the company's next stage of development. She said the business had operated in Alfreton for several years before deciding to open an office.
She commented: "This feels like a really important moment for the business. Alfreton has been a huge part of our story for several years and we've developed some fantastic relationships with clients here.
"Opening an office in the town is a natural next step and one we're incredibly excited about."
Focus on Customer Relationships
Finance director Daren Cope said the business would continue to focus on customer relationships as it expanded. He commented: "Behind every sale, every purchase and every tenancy is a person putting their trust in you.
"That has always been at the heart of this business and it's something we're determined to protect as we continue to grow."
Managing director Susan Cope said the new branch marked another stage in the company's development. She commented: "When we started the business, every decision was about creating something that would stand the test of time.
"To see Cope&Co continue to grow and invest in places like Alfreton is incredibly rewarding."
Founding Member of New Network
The expansion follows another development for the agency. Cope&Co recently received an invitation to become a founding member of Leading Estate Agents of the World, a newly established network of estate and letting agents.
