Beyond the Silicon Fen and Oxford-Cambridge arc, Suffolk and Norfolk’s commercial property sector is responding to a combination of pandemic and Brexit effects. Growing demand for warehousing and logistics units to store goods from the region’s ports – such as the container port at Felixstowe or short sea ports Ipswich, King’s Lynn and Lowestoft – is well-served by TFT’s specialists in developing, transacting and managing logistics and industrial assets with sustainability and long term value in mind.
Alistair Allison, Managing Partner of TFT said: “It has been an exciting period of growth and expansion for TFT this year, which has been a long-time in the planning, with recent office openings in Leeds and Southampton, a new office in Dublin following our merger with Brannigan Partners, and now our latest opening in Cambridge.
We’ve already built a solid reputation in East Anglia through our delivery of local services for new and existing clients. Expanding in the region supports our wider interests in non-core office locations which provide more places for our team, our clients and industry partners to work together.”
In addition to Cambridge, TFT has dedicated offices in Birmingham, Bristol, Cardiff, Dublin, Edinburgh, Guildford, Leeds, London, Manchester, and Southampton offering clients specialist property services with in-depth local knowledge.
