Welcome to this week's edition of The Thistleblower.
We’ve been back at work for seven weeks, which is just short of the time we spent in lockdown. The time has passed really quickly, with all our branches and new homes sites reporting extremely encouraging levels of business. As a result of this, we plan to open our new Aldershot branch this summer and I think this is a really positive move in these uncertain times.
We see Aldershot as a great opportunity given the significant redevelopment taking place, and that we have other local branches in Ash Vale and Farnborough which will enable us to provide even greater coverage for our existing clients, as well as the many new clients we will be representing in the area.
For me, it’s all about getting on the front foot and staying there. There is business to be done, people want to sell, let, buy and rent and we’re here to help, whilst, of course, remaining extremely conscious of the covid guidelines, which can be found on our website.
