Kirkby and Diamond shine on with new Bedford office21st May 2012

Surveyors firm Kirkby & Diamond has opened an office in Bedford, completing a golden triangle with their Milton Keynes and Luton operations.

The new office at Clifton House, Goldington Road will have as its Head of Commercial Agency Andrew Clarke who was a director of Douglas Duff, until its recent sudden closure. He has worked in Bedford for 23 years and, having won the EGi’s Most Active Regional Agent Award for the past four years, is widely recognised as the town’s leading commercial agent.

Andrew is joined by former colleagues David Tillison as Head of Professional Services, Irene Dymond as Head of Property Management and Enza Marinaro as Office Administrator - all of whom have extensive knowledge of the Bedford market, which will ensure the delivery of effective and comprehensive commercial agency and professional services.

Andrew Wright, Managing Partner of Kirkby & Diamond said: “We have nursed an ambition to expand our multi-services surveying and commercial business into Bedford for some time because we see it as a town with a great future, particularly on the industrial front with the opening of the A421 extension linking the A1 and M1.

“Kirkby & Diamond will be offering an extended range of services to the Bedford market, including building surveying, quantity surveying, valuations, property management, land planning and development, compulsory purchase and compensation. The appointment of Andrew Clarke and his team, all of whom have years of experience in the town, will ensure that we can deliver an effective commercial agency function very quickly.”
