TWO Worcester real estate businesses are coming together to create a larger team offering greater expertise.

Property consultancy Fisher German is expanding its commercial, residential and rural offering by consolidating Halls (Midlands) within the Fisher German brand. The move will enable Fisher German to provide a more comprehensive, multidisciplinary service to its clients, allowing the business to grow its commercial sector and associated services, drawing on the significant expertise of the Halls’ partners.

As part of the expansion, Anthony Champion, Duncan Bedhall, Dan Ballard, Jason Clines, Richard Tomlinson and Rob Champion, who were previously equity partners of Halls, have moved to Fisher German as partners.

The consolidation of the teams will see Fisher German’s Blackpole office migrating to join the Halls team in Kings Court, Charles Hasting Way, adding to the existing rural and residential offering in Worcester and Bromsgrove.

Andrew Bridge, partner at Fisher German, said: “The expansion of the team within Fisher German is a milestone in the evolution of our business, and represents a key future growth area. The Halls team will bring substantial specialist experience and services to Fisher German, allowing us to build upon our existing expertise and market knowledge to provide a full-service offering to clients in Worcester, across the Midlands and into Wales.”

The expertise of the team behind Fisher German’s new commercial sector in Worcester was highlighted in the recent CoStar Property Agents Midlands awards, where the Halls team was identified as one of the most active industrial agencies in the West Midlands, and the team were also awarded the Estate Gazette’s most active agent in Worcestershire for the fourth year in succession.

Rob Champion, Partner, said: “Fisher German is a nationally-renowned consultancy with a great reputation for the specialist rural and residential expertise it provides, but has been less well-known for its commercial services, particularly in the Midlands.

“The consolidation of our business provides an excellent opportunity to strengthen Fisher German’s offering in Worcestershire and the Black Country, where our core roots are firmly planted."
