Cooke & Arkwright have been recognised as the Agency Team of the Year at the Insider Wales Property Awards 2017, just a few months after being named by Estates Gazette as the Most Active Agent in Wales. The award is recognition of the strength of the firm’s combined retail, office, industrial, development and investment agency teams, and the hardwork of all the team members.

In the award ceremony in Cardiff on 29th June 2017, the team saw off strong competition from a shortlist of national and local commercial property agency teams to win the Agency Team of the Year award.  The panel of judges described Cooke & Arkwright as a “high impact firm with strong Welsh roots”.  In 2016 and 2017, Cooke & Arkwright have advised clients on some of the most high profile and significant deals in Wales.  This is combined with deep market knowledge resulting from the team’s unrivalled scale and geographical reach in Wales, with agency instructions from Bangor in the north to Cardiff in the south and Aberystwyth in the west to Knighton in the east.

Chairman, Michael Lawley said, “We are delighted to win this award, which recognises the firm’s strength as the largest independent commercial property specialist in Wales. The scale and the reach of the business, with its spread of instructions across Wales, allow us to provide what we confidently believe to be the best market intelligence and property expertise available in the region.”

Managing Director Andrew Gardner commented, “This is excellent news and recognition of the hard work and strong team ethos across our agency teams.  They work hard together to deliver great results for clients, and we are delighted to see their efforts recognised in this way.”

Cooke & Arkwright have been providing Newport City Council with rating advice for over 20 years. Andrew, Jane and Huw provide a personal and professional service and have an excellent knowledge of the Council’s assets which has enabled the Council to achieve substantial rate savings. A useful service offered is the status report which provides us with a snapshot of what appeals have been made and appeals outstanding throughout the life of the List. I would recommend Cooke & Arkwright Rating Services to any company wishing to procure up-to-date and professional rating advice.
