Morgans has opened its new office in North Leeds. MD Jonathan Morgan says, “Our £500,000 investment in the 1,200 sq ft office opposite Headingley’s Arndale Centre has completely overhauled 75 Otley Road to create a stunning building that has been welcomed by the community and our clients. “Having operated in Headingley for 13 years in rented offices, we are delighted to be trading from such a prime location that has given us prominence and
added vitality to the street. The increase in business has resulted from a number of landlords using our services for the first time and our location has meant that we have seen a two-fold increase in the number of tenants coming into the office looking for property to rent.”
The office is manned by Ben

It was decided that the start of 2012 – a big year for Britain – was the right time to update the existing brand, which has been widely recognised across Kent and the South East for more than 20 years. David said: “All businesses need
