Commercial property consultancy Fisher German is moving its Market Harborough office as it looks to continue to build its long-standing presence in the town.
The agency, which has its HQ in Ashby, has a history in Market Harborough dating back more than 200 years and is moving to a new premises at Innovation House, on the Welland Business Park.
The firm is moving from the town’s High Street to an open-plan office which management say will future-proof its presence there as it continues to expand and create jobs. It is currently recruiting for a handful of new staff.
The firm is now fitting out the 5,400 sq ft office, with staff expected to move in this September.
It is expected that the Grade II listed building in High Street will be turned into residential accommodation once planning consent is confirmed.
Fisher German was created in 2000 following the merger of Fisher Hoggarth and Germans – and Fisher Hoggarth’s history in Market Harborough dates back to 1819.
It will be only the fourth time that the Harborough team has moved, having been in its current office since 1960.
Associate director Anna Collins said: “We are extremely excited to announce the launch of our new office in Market Harborough.
“The new, modern space will better reflect our working practices and aspirations while ensuring that we can continue to grow within Market Harborough.
“It is in a fantastic location on a mixed-use business park based just outside the town centre, benefitting from parking for both staff and those visiting, and it is good to know that the development of our office in High Street will be extremely positive and add vibrancy to the town centre.
“We have a long history in the town and are dedicated to further strengthening our presence and continuing to invest in the local area.
“Our new office will support the firm as it continues to grow, and we are currently advertising for a number of positions in surveying, agency and client accounting.
“It will also support the welfare of our people, providing them with the best possible working environment as we focus on collaborative working between teams.
“We now look forward to the completion of the re-fit and welcoming people from across the area when we officially open.”
