A North West England-based independent agent is marking its 40th anniversary.
Independent agent Hackney & Leigh has reached the milestone in the same year it was named North West Family Business of the Year.
It will also be marking its fifth consecutive appearance in the Best Estate Agency Guide by making it into the top 2% of agents, receiving Gold Awards for both sales and lettings.
Founded in 1982 by Derrick Hackney and John Leigh, it initially opened three offices together in Ambleside, Windermere and Kendal.
The company now employs a team of 70 in nine local offices covering the Lake District and large parts of Cumbria and North Lancashire.
It is still a family run business.
Derrick and John, now both in their seventies, are still actively involved.
But John’s son Simon took over the day-to-day running of the company a few years ago.
The family business ethos also extends beyond the founders’ families, with many of the wider team staying with the company for decades.
Simon said: “Our success over the years would not have possible without the support and hard work of our amazing team, and the fact that several of our colleagues have worked with us for over 35 years, and numerous others for over 20, confirms that they are not just colleagues, they are part of our family too.”
