NOTTS-BASED commercial property consultancy NG Chartered Surveyors has taken one of the top slots in a flagship national award scheme.
NG has been recognised by leading property magazine Estates Gazette and its online edition EGi for its work over the past 12 months.
NG took third position in Nottinghamshire's "most active agent" category. With its four-strong agency team, NG says it has "punched well above its weight" – with firms in the top two slots being regional heavyweights.
NG senior partner Richard Sutton said: "Trading conditions remain tough but, through a mixture of tenacity and proactive, innovative marketing, we have managed to consistently close deals.
"In the face of a challenging market, agencies have to be more focussed on delivering results than ever before. Therefore, this accolade from a premier commercial property publication is really pleasing, reflecting the hard work of our staff."
Over the past 12 months, NG successes include almost filling a set of micro units at Moorgreen Industrial Estate – a sign that small businesses in the region are feeling confident despite the tough economic climate.
NG says it has seen growth in demand for industrial premises and business has also been boosted by the busy office market in Nottinghamshire.
The firm has busy on a range of office deals in the city, including several period properties in Ropewalk and the Lace Market.
Richard said: "We have experienced an increase in enquiry levels in all areas of the industrial sector, with manufacturing particularly strong. There has also been an increase in activity in the office sector, with NG sealing a number of deals in the city centre.
"The number of deals we have completed also provides us with invaluable information about the local market and this knowledge helps us to further improve the quality and breadth of the professional services we offer."
