One of the West Midlands’ leading independent commercial property agents is battling it out with multi-nationals in the office market rankings.
Siddall Jones, which has offices in Birmingham and Dudley, is ranked fifth in the EG Radius Data Exchange office disposals league table.
The companies above Siddall Jones – Savills, JLL, CBRE and Avison Young – dominate the market but have both national and global reach.
Siddall Jones, which was founded by managing director Edward Siddall-Jones in 2012, has steadily risen up the rankings, finishing sixth last year.
In the latest report, Siddall Jones is ranked fifth, having achieved 33 deals and disposing of 62,940 sq ft with an average deal size of 1,907 sq ft.
The firm has pushed global giant Cushman & Wakefield, which came second in the West Midlands last year, into sixth place.
Ed Siddall-Jones said: “Covid-19 notwithstanding, it has overall been a good year for Siddall Jones.
“We have consolidated and built on our position as the agent of choice for the small to medium sized office occupier, and we expect to be busier still in 2020-21 as some of the larger office occupiers evaluate their space requirements in the light of the success of remote working and changes in employment practices.”
Siddall Jones has recently been appointed by a London investor to market Albion Court in the Jewellery Quarter, which totals 14,500 sq ft of air conditioned, open plan office accommodation across four levels. The development has ten covered car parking spaces, plus covered bike racks and shower facilities.
Other successes include helping South Wales-based office furniture company BOF to launch a Midlands and North England office in 1,716 sq ft at 101 Albion Street in the Jewellery Quarter.
