NORMAN F Brown, an established North Yorkshire chartered surveyors and estate agents, is pleased to announce the appointment of Simon Davies BSc (Hons) FNAEA as the new manager of its Bedale office.

Simon joins the firm from his branch manager position with Dacre Son & Hartley, bringing with him a wealth of experience in both sales and lettings. He is looking forward to working with colleagues Anita Sygmuta, Janet Harnett and Emma Harris in leading the branch forward following the recent departure of its manager, Philip Mills, who retired after 32 years with the firm.

The business celebrated its 50th anniversary earlier this year and welcomes Simon into the next chapter for the Bedale branch.

“I am delighted that Simon has joined the team and settled in quickly.

“He brings his experience in modern estate agency with him and we look forward to working with him,” said managing partner James Brown.

Simon added: “I am looking forward to meeting clients old and new.

“I realise it is a big challenge to follow on in Philip’s footsteps, as I see that in 2017 the Bedale office has agreed more sales and lets than anyone else in our core areas, according to independent information from Rightmove.”
