kenneymoore celebrates 30-year anniversary milestone

Formed by Tim Kenney and Howard Moore in 1995, kenneymoore is far more than just a commercial estate agent. They are focused on finding property solutions for their clients and are a local Chester business with a national reach. For instance, being retained by Beaverbrooks the Jewellers – a client throughout those 30 years – and acting as their retained advisors across the entire UK portfolio on all retail property matters.

“It’s a privilege to work with such companies, particularly Beaverbrooks who continue to open new stores, whilst extending others,” says Howard. During the last 30 years, kenneymoore has brought some amazing projects to life in

Chester. Walk through the city centre and there aren’t many properties that haven’t benefitted from the kenneymoore touch! From the development of Roomz opposite Chester Racecourse, the new Rooftop Social Club on top of Pepper Street Car Park, the Premier Inn on City Road and currently working alongside Grosvenor Estates to bring a new 5* Wildes Hotel, to Chester city centre. Work restarts in a few weeks to deliver this in 2026.

One of the business’s most notable deals came in 2001, when kenneymoore, acted on behalf of DIY giant B&Q, by identifying and then acquiring the former Manweb Headquarters building on Sealand Road for B&Q’s flagship Chester store.

Tim and Howard have seen huge changes in the property business, with digitisation, email and drone photography coming to the fore. When they started, it was fax and physically sticking thousands of photographs on printed property details and posting them out. “What hasn’t changed though is our focus on getting the deal done!” says Tim.

Commenting on the importance of working together in and outside of business, Tim says: “We can’t do our job on our own. To do any transaction in the world of property requires teamwork, and a myriad of other professionals pulling their weight. So, it’s a pretty straightforward evolution to take that ‘solution-oriented’ skillset and apply it to other fields of activity. This is especially relevant when trying to make things happen in events and strategic thinking spaces – particularly when bridging the gap between private and public sector worlds.”
