Bradley Hall tops North East retail table

Bradley Hall has been named the top performing agency in the North East for retail property.

The full-service property consultancy topped the EGI North East lettings and occupational sales ranking for retail property during the third quarter of 2022. EGI’s On-Demand Rankings are calculated by the total amount of floorspace transacted by property agencies across the UK.

Bradley Hall’s completed deals amounted to more than double the floor space of its nearest competitor. Richard Rafique, managing director of commercial at Bradley Hall, said: “It’s great news for everyone at Bradley Hall that the company continues to thrive in the North East, where we have been operating for over 30 years.

“I would like to thank all our staff who work so hard, as the impact of their effort is really borne out in these figures. As an independent company, it is fantastic to be able to compete with, and surpass some of the biggest national names in the industry.”

It’s been a big year for the company, which has expanded its Yorkshire arm and recently announced its aim of increasing turnover from £4.8m to £10m over the next three to five years, while growing its headcount from 58 to 120.

Richard added: “It’s been a tough few years for both businesses and people, so it is testament to the great work done here that we are continuing to top league tables and expand into new areas. It’s an exciting time to be involved with Bradley Hall and we are certainly not resting on our laurels.

“While there is no doubt that it will be challenging, we are determined to continue to grow the business both in the North East and Yorkshire creating opportunities and jobs for people in these areas.

“Retail has been the hardest hit sector but certain areas have remained resilient and in fact thrived. We have completed deals with new independent retailers offering premium goods, to national hospitality operators. The property types and locations we deal with at a local level, using our networks and contacts, ensures we fit retailer requirements to vacant units.

“Topping tables such as EGI when the retail market is unpredictable is even more of a feat for our firm as a result.”
