Stratford-upon-Avon MP Nadhim Zahawi visited CPBigwood's Union
Street offices for a briefing on the benefits arising from the
firm's merger with Birmingham property consultancy Curry &
Partners.
Joint managing director Rory Daly told him that the merger had
created one of the largest independent property firms outside of
London - an £8 million fee income business with a staff of
125.
He cited auctions and property management as two of the newly
merged firm's principal strengths.
"We hold the largest auctions outside of the capital and in
combining our joint expertise in property management, we have
created significant mass and momentum in this area of the
business," he said.
CPBigwood's Stratford directors Simon Gibbs and Graham Carter
along with head of country homes Tom Dennes took the opportunity to
lobby their MP on their views on the local housing market, planning
and funding issues.
Tom Dennes told him: "Your comments on the Localism Bill were
interesting and it will be fascinating to see how these are both
interpreted and implemented at local council level."
As well as property management and auctions, CPBigwood provides
the full range of professional services including commercial and
residential agency, lettings, valuations, surveying, building and
development consultancy and town planning.
It has offices in Summer Row and Colmore Row, Birmingham,
Henley-in-Arden and Stratford-upon-Avon.
The name Bigwood has been part of the world of property
throughout the Midlands since 1845.
Edwards Son & Bigwood, Edwards Bigwood & Bewlay and
Colliers Bigwood & Bewlay are names well know to property
owners and professionals alike. It is from this established family
tree that the business has grown and now includes the practices of
Leeson Son & Hackett, Cecil Cariss & Son, Robert Martin
