TRAFFORD BUSINESS connect
April/May 2014
focus Bruntwood’s distinctive brand has been a familiar sight on Trafford’s skyline for almost 40 years. The instantly recognised red oval found on many of their properties underpins the longevity of this family run property company, which has been supporting businesses across the borough since 1976.

As our company was expanding, we enquired with a number of property owners to see what office space was available, in which locations and at what costs. We got a number of responses that varied in quality. Bruntwood however, stood out. Their professionalism and general manner were excellent and we felt valued right from the start. We agreed on a plan that would give us space to grow into, but also flexible options to move within the Bruntwood portfolio should our growth plans be exceeded. Since our move, we have been impressed with the service staff on-site, always willing to help, a friendly smile and a professional approach. Martin Cozens, Managing Director, Banc Media

It’s true to say that Bruntwood aren’t your typical commercial landlord. In fact, if you mention the ‘L’ word you will most likely be greeted with concerned frowns followed by a quick chat about their more ‘inclusive’ business model and their role as your property partner. This starts with the fact they
Bruntwo develop, let and manage all their properties, which seems to give them a unique opportunity to give each property a specific outward aspect reflecting and supporting their clients’ business approach and brand. Delving a little deeper can result in a few surprises. Afflecks, situated in the heart of Manchester’s Northern Quarter, is a good example of how a business culture has been encouraged to flourish under it’s own unique flavour.
