Mr Quaintrell, who has grown estate agency My Property Box to cover the North and North Yorkshire, said: “As experienced businesspeople, we are combining our expertise within the property and legal professions and will draw upon our in-depth market knowledge and extensive contacts to offer clients the best possible service.
“We launched MPB Corporate in direct response to the inward investment flowing into the North East, which has been triggered by such levelling up measures as the Treasury’s economic campus in Darlington, the transformation of the former Redcar steelworks site into Teesworks and Teesside Freeport.
“Billions of pounds is being invested in the North East which will create thousands of jobs, providing a real economic stimulant.”
Mr Sanders, a qualified financial advisor who recently sat as an independent member of the FA's Judicial Disciplinary Panel in London, added: “We are seeing businesses from outside the region wishing to establish themselves and regional businesses looking to expand through acquisitions.
"This wave of industrial and tech-led regeneration is encouraging increased business activity across the professional services, health and life sciences, digital, and clean energy sectors.
“MPB Corporate will support this continued economic growth by assisting in further business investment.”
