Property consultancy moves back to 2,500 sq ft Manchester office after extensive refurb

A leading property consultancy has moved back into its Manchester city centre office following an extensive refurbishment project which will support the future growth of the firm.

Fisher German’s newly transformed office, located at Centurion House on Deansgate, boasts a fresh and modern interior design to enhance productivity and promote collaboration.

It comes as the firm continues to make substantial investments into its city centre offices following a period of significant growth which has seen its national headcount increase by 48 per cent since 2017, with 806 staff members now based across 26 offices – including in major cities such as London, Liverpool, Birmingham and Newcastle.

The 2,500 sq ft Manchester office features a spacious communal hub, with glazed-partitioned meeting rooms that complement the open plan workspace, arranged to provide an optimal working environment for both clients and employees.

The space has been enhanced with natural colour tones and finishes together with local artwork and surveying-themed artefacts.

A comprehensive range of services will operate from the office, including commercial agency investment, building consultancy, commercial property management, valuation and business rates consultancy.

The firm will now look to continue its ambitious growth plans, adding more new faces to the Manchester team as it looks to further strengthen its presence in the North West region.

David Laws, Partner at Fisher German, said: “We’re extremely pleased to be moving back into our new and improved Deansgate office after this refurbishment.

“The bright interiors, welcoming environment and dedicated meeting rooms are a brilliant upgrade, and the reconfiguration of the workspace will support us as we look to grow the business further.

“The office will have a primary purpose to showcase our people, and our skill sets and present an excellent location to welcome our clients and wider colleagues to. With the ongoing debate around the need for offices, I believe we have created an environment and culture that will truly encourage and demonstrate the benefit the office can bring.

Marcus Baumber, Surveyor at Fisher German who has been based at the Manchester office since the firm’s merger with the former Matthews & Goodman in 2022, added: “We’re increasingly witnessing our clients improve their workplaces through either relocation or program of investment because they know their current staff – and future employees – are more likely to use them.

“This time, instead of advising clients, we’ve improved our office ourselves for similar reasons. I think the refurbishment is a great first step in growing the Manchester team and increasing our influence in the region.”

Andrew Bridge, Managing Partner at Fisher German, said: “We had wanted to improve our Manchester office for some time, and we’re delighted the work is now complete. Refurbishing our Manchester office serves as a testament to our commitment to growth and investment.

“The full extent of the services we can now offer as a multi-disciplinary property consultancy will enable our clients to develop their opportunities and allow our business to continue to grow and evolve. By modernising our office spaces, we position ourselves to attract talent, accommodate technological advancements, and contribute to the vibrant urban landscape.”
