Norwich-based commercial property consultants, Roche Chartered Surveyors has retained its title as Norfolk’s most active firm for the seventh year in succession, in the commercial property sector’s leading awards. The title is awarded by the Estates Gazette for the firm conducting the most transactions across all sectors of the commercial property market and has now been won by Roche every year since its inception in 2013.
The Norfolk award follows Roche’s success in regaining the Estates Gazette’s regional award as the East of England’s leading firm in the retail sector, again based on the number of transactions arranged during the year, for an impressive 9th time in the last 10 years.
To cap Roche’s success, one of the firm’s partners, Adrian Fennell, won the Dealmaker Award for the individual involved the most transactions throughout 2019, the third member of the Roche team to receive this accolade in recent years.
Sam Kingston, Managing Partner of Roche Chartered Surveyors, commented “The Estates Gazette Awards are widely acknowledged in commercial property as being market-leading and are a reliable reflection of activity during the past year. We are therefore extremely proud and pleased to have retained our title as Norfolk’s most active firm and the regional retail crown. The Awards reflect a huge amount of effort by everyone in the firm and the extent of our activities in all the main commercial sectors including retail, leisure, offices, industrial and warehousing. Adrian Fennell’s individual Award is thoroughly deserved and a great achievement in an extremely difficult retail market. The commercial property markets face unique challenges at present but we are extremely busy advising clients and concluding deals, with activity picking up since the start of the lockdown.”
