North East commercial property consultancy Naylors Gavin Black has unveiled a bold new chapter in its evolution - announcing a complete rebrand, the launch of a new website, and exciting plans for growth.
The 40-strong firm, headquartered in Newcastle and operating nationally, will now trade simply as Naylors. The new, streamlined identity, fresh marketing collateral and state-of-the-art digital platform reflect its three-year growth strategy which will be spearheaded by its next generation of Partners.
The move positions the business for a phase of expansion and strengthens brand presence whilst building on its established reputation across the North East and UK commercial property markets.
Changes for growth
The next generation of Partners – Keith Stewart, Katy Clark, Chris Donabie, Scott Clarke and Martyn Collins – will drive forward the company’s three-year growth strategy, alongside highly respected stalwarts Angus White and Fergus Laird who will remain prominent in the business.
Expansion is planned through strategic hires in key service lines, a big push on occupier services and the firm has not ruled out geographical expansion where it can benefit their clients.
To improve operations, there will be major investment in IT, client relationship management (CRM) software and property management systems to streamline processes and improve the client experience.
Strengths
Naylors, which supports clients across the UK, provides the full range of commercial real estate services.
The firm is long established in the industrial, office, retail and investment agency markets. It advises occupiers, private investors, property companies, institutions and developers.
Naylors’ property & facilities management team, headed up by Partner Katy Clark, has enjoyed considerable growth over the last four years, and this continues.
Building consultancy is another expanding area of the business, with the department now consisting of five qualified surveyors and led by Partner, Scott Clarke.
In January, the business grew its valuation team with the key appointment of experienced valuer, Ben Wood, which has enabled Naylors to undertake a wide range of loan security valuations across all main property sectors, alongside its offer for private clients.
Future proofing
“This marks the start of an exciting new chapter,” explains Managing Partner and industrial property lead at Naylors, Keith Stewart.
“The refreshed identity reflects our progression in recent years and better showcases our established market expertise alongside our highly-personal approach to advising clients on strategic property decisions.
“Our new strategy brings a sharper focus, continued investment across the business and a commitment to supporting clients as market conditions, occupational patterns and investment structures continue to change,” said Keith.
Partner, and investment agency lead, Chris Donabie, adds: “Our new identity represents a consultancy built for what’s next, meaning – forwardlooking, adaptable and focused on helping clients navigate complexity with assurance.
“While our brand has evolved, our commitment to independent advice, integrity and long-term client relationships remains unchanged.”
