'A very commercial team in Liverpool and Manchester. They are easy to work with and give excellent support and nothing is too much trouble. They are good at realising the different perspectives of landlords and tenants to come out with suitable compromises that protect the client but get the deals completed. There is a strong element of senior resource.’
‘Richard Thompson leads from the front and by example. He is very hands-on and commercial, going the extra yard to get deals done and to help his team though sticking points on deals.'
'The team are very good, particularly Claire Henderson, Alison Mills, Melissa Cookson and Lauren Turner.’
