Belvoir Expands With Four New Offices

Belvoir is delighted to announce the launch of four brand new offices, which takes the company ever closer to its goal of 200 offices by the end of 2016.

Two offices in Bracknell and Hemel Hempstead are already open for business, whilst Belvoir Daventry and Belvoir York are due to open in July.

"Opening four new Belvoir offices in prime locations has been a fantastic start to 2015 and brings us one step closer as a network to achieving our aim of having 200 outlets by 2016," said Belvoir's Director of Commercial and Franchising, Dorian Gonsalves.

"With over 160 offices in the Belvoir network already, and Belvoir recently winning Franchise of the Year for a record fifth time, we are very confident that our recruitment process will continue to thrive and we will have 200 outlets by the end of next year.

"I think it is fantastic that Belvoir continues to attract very high quality individuals, who are clearly passionate enough about property to want to create a successful business in property management and they are choosing Belvoir to help them fulfill their dreams. I am sure that the new ventures in York, Daventry, Bracknell and Hemel Hempstead will bring our new franchise owners the rewards that they are looking to achieve and wish them every success for the future.

"This year Belvoir celebrates 20 years in business and we continue to be deeply committed to offering the best standard of services for landlords and tenants. I am delighted that clients will now be able to access services offered by Belvoir in these four new locations.

"We have identified exciting opportunities in a number of new territories across the country and I would encourage anyone who is interested in finding out more about a Belvoir franchise to contact our recruitment team for a no-obligation discussion."
