Visitors to Cooke & Arkwright’s offices in Cardiff are being greeted with a brand new reception area and adjacent meeting rooms that are almost unrecognisable from the previous space. We have just completed a major overhaul which has transformed the entrance area and created a suite of new offices.

The whole space has been redesigned and refurbished with glass partitions replacing the former walls, new flooring, recessed lighting and a sleek, modern reception desk. 

Chairman Michael Lawley comments, “We were keen to upgrade the space to follow on from earlier refurbishment of the rear stairwells, toilet and kitchen facilities.

“We are all delighted with the results and feedback from clients and staff has been extremely positive. The space appears larger, lighter and very contemporary, reflecting on where we stand as a leading property business in Wales.”

Mansford has expanded its investment portfolio over the last few years. Over this time Andrew West has provided us with a full rating valuation service which has involved giving a view on liabilities prior to acquisitions, as well as conducting negotiations with Valuation Officers on our UK estate. The portfolio includes a wide range of properties from shops, offices and pubs to major leisure schemes. He has been particularly successful in mitigating our liabilities to empty property rate, which has been an issue on acquisition prior to implementing our development and letting strategy. I have no hesitation in recommending Andrew's expertise in rating valuation for all property types. The profile of property within his portfolio and the successes achieved are testament to his position as an extremely accomplished rating practitioner.
