Lettings Manager – Urmston (Opening late September 2010)

Thornley Groves continues to expand by selecting locations that will complement its existing branch network. We believe Urmston, which is very close to Manchester City Centre, just 8 minutes by train from Oxford Road Station and borders the territories covered by our Sale Branch, is a perfect fit. Urmston is underrated by some and overlooked by many buyers and tenants alike. It offers great communications, fantastic schools, a large hospital and is very close to the Trafford Centre. The stock of property is plentiful and varied in price and we believe the town is crying out for a dynamic firm of Estate Agents willing to shout about the town and its benefits. Our Branch, which opens in late September, will be one of the largest and certainly the most prominent in the town. We are seeking to appoint a highly motivated, experienced Lettings Manager to head up our Urmston Operations.
