In the year 2000, our then 3 branch firm expanded into Manchester’s burgeoning city centre residential property market where it quickly expanded, opening new city centre branches in the key residential quarters of the city centre. We refer to these quarters as Southern Gateway, Manchester Central and Vimto Gardens.

We now have 2 branches in Manchester city centre, bringing us to a total of 6 branches across the City, South and North Manchester.

Originally Thornley Groves handled residential sales only. In 1995 we commenced dealing with residential Lettings and Property Management, which now accounts for 50% of our total income.

Thornley Groves' six offices all utilise and benefit from our fully cloud-hosted telecoms and IT setup. We have made substantial investments in our use of technology so staff can effortlessly hot-desk to any computer in any branch 7 days a week. This gives them the ability to work more flexibly and responsively when communicating, marketing and managing.

With the ability to access our entire property sales, lettings and management databases from any of our offices means our team can deliver the highest possible levels of service to customers and always be one step ahead of other, less advanced estate agents.

Michael has become Regional Chief Exec at Lomond Capital and Jason is now CEO of Lomond Manchester being charged with the task of delivering transformational change, growth and enhanced services to Vendors, Buyers, Landlords and Tenants in the whole of the Manchester conurbation.

Our growth has necessitated the up-scaling of our Senior Management team and now includes; Andrew Seldon (Managing Director) employed since 1998, Matthew Smith (Sales and Lettings Director) employed since 2007 and Keeley Child (Director of Property Management) employed since 2008.

The business is now actively seeking to acquire other businesses to drive this growth.

In November 2013 Thornley Groves acquired Penny Ashton Sales and Letting Agents in Manchester city centre, and in February 2014 acquired the Manchester City Centre Property Management business of Allison & Co. Later on, in July 2014, the city centre property management side of Vital Space's Manchester business was acquired. At the end of 2014 Shepherd Gilmour including Sales, Lettings and Property Management was wholly acquired by Thornley Groves. May 2015 saw the acquisition of Barlow Costley in Swinton taking the number of branches to 9 across the company.

Thornley Groves is actively seeking additional consolidation and expansion opportunities.
