THE Annual Business Guide 2016 features Devon and Cornwall based companies listed in order of the number of employees, and once again the Bradleys Group Ltd are the only estate agency firm to feature in the elite list of regional firms, produced by a local newspaper.

Group Chairman, Brian Bradley, commented on the group featuring in the top 150: “We are proud to be leading the way in the property market across Devon, Cornwall and Somerset.

"There is a very positive feel across the region in many industries and we feel that way about the property market.

"As a result of increased demand we have employed more staff to work outside of normal office hours.

"We now have estate agents contactable until 10pm, seven days-a-week to arrange viewings, book in valuations, mortgage appointments or simply respond to general enquiries which has been extremely popular and as a result has increased sales and lets across the group.

"This is a clear sign that our region is still a very popular place to live and work and I don’t see that changing anytime soon. ”

Bradleys were established in 1992 and have grown from a single office in Rolle Street, Exmouth to 33 offices from Taunton to Penzance, all offering the Complete Property Service.

The trademark of their success is being able to offer quality local services from each office, making it easy for buyers, sellers, landlords and tenants to co-ordinate all the associated services they need when moving.
