COMMERCIAL property giant Bruntwood saw profits rise after a “solid” year.
The group, whose Liverpool properties include Oriel Chambers and The Plaza, said profit before tax rose % to £11.2m for the year to last September.
The total value of its fixed assets rose 2% to £966m.
Bruntwood said the results followed “a solid performance in new lettings and customer retention across its portfolio”.
Chief executive, Chris Oglesby said: “The economic climate continues to be tough and we have had to work hard, as a team, to deliver these results.
“We are continuing to focus on our customers in the current marketplace to ensure they have the services, flexibility and competitively priced accommodation that they need.
“Through the recent economic turbulence, our main focus has been on driving value in our existing portfolio.
“Looking forward we are keen to grow in the science and technology sector in Manchester as well as to continue to develop our business in Leeds, Birmingham and Liverpool.”
