Hybrid agency franchise snapped up by husband and wife team

A  husband and wife team have bought the franchise for EweMove in York.

Local media in the area say Jonathan and Elly Dawson have taken over the reins having been working at the firm for the past five years, since it opened in the city. 

“Both Elly and I are delighted to have reached an agreement to buy EweMove York. With our help, it’s grown in recent years and is now a go-to estate agency brand in the York area. We couldn’t be more pleased and plan to continue the hard work and effort required to grow the business further” explains Jonathan Dawson in the York Press. 

Nick Neill, managing director of the national EweMove operation and the former York franchisee, adds: “I am over the moon for Jon and Elly. They have been a vital part of the success of EweMove York in recent years and have been working towards buying a stake in the company for some time.”

“Now they have been able to buy the entire business, it means I can concentrate exclusively on the UK business and all our other 120-plus franchises around the country, knowing that EweMove York and our brilliant customers will be in safe and reliable hands.”

EweMove is part of The Property Franchise Group, which unusually did not include a reference to the hybrid operation in its most recent trading statement, issued last month.
