Hide AdA spokesman said: “In September last year, Harlan Pollitt and Daniel Rigg announced the breakaway, while launching the North Residential rebrand and have since been able to invest while retaining and growing its client portfolio.
Mr Pollitt said, “We are delighted to announce the opening of a new branch in Pocklington. We operate as an independent company with no external funding or debt and we are extremely well placed to expand the North Residential brand into more prime locations.”
"We anticipate around 60 per cent year on year growth with at least three new office openings per annum and we will be excited to announce further new locations very soon.”
Scott Holley has been appointed to lead the team at the new Pocklington branch. He has more than 20 years’ experience in residential property having held senior roles with Galbraith and Savills.
