A new franchise branch of Northwood has opened in Shropshire, with another five or six new offices elsewhere in the country expected to be launched later this year.
Northwood has expanded from a pure lettings agency in 1995 - when it was called Residential Lettings - but has now become an agency handling sales and rentals plus financial services. The company has more than 80 offices from Aberdeen to Truro, employs around 350 staff and says it has some 20,000 clients on its books.
The latest branch is in Wellington, Shropshire, where franchise owner Andy Campbell secured funding from the Royal Bank of Scotland via two government-backed projects - the Enterprise Finance Guarantee Scheme and the Funding for Lending Scheme.
Northwood says all of its franchisees undergo a 10 year FCA-approved screening process prior to being granted a franchise.
Comments
In fairness - this press release wasn't issued by Northwood, rather by RBS who provided funding - and a very good service they provide too.
Good luck to Shropshire branch. It will be interesting to how Northwood evolves under Eric Walkers tenure.
