Independent property business Cope&Co has opened a new estate agency branch on King Street in Alfreton, one of the first major developments since Annie Cope became its CEO.
The Derby-based company said the office would help it build closer connections with local communities and provide clients with a more localised service. Cope&Co has worked with homeowners, landlords, investors and tenants across the Alfreton area for several years.
Annie Cope, 28, said: “This feels like a really important moment for the business. “Alfreton has been a huge part of our story for several years and we’ve developed some fantastic relationships with clients here. Opening an office in the town is a natural next step and one we’re incredibly excited about.”
“We want to be part of the community. We want local people to know who we are, where to find us and feel confident that we’re invested in the area for the long term.”
Cope&Co has its headquarters at Canterbury House on Stephenson Way in Derby. The company, which handles residential sales, lettings and property management, describes itself as the region’s largest independent property brand.
The Alfreton office has been designed as a modern alternative to the traditional estate agency, offering clients a place to seek advice and support with major life decisions.
Finance Director Daren Cope said: “Property is about far more than just bricks and mortar.”
“Behind every sale, every purchase and every tenancy is a person putting their trust in you.”
“That has always been at the heart of this business and it’s something we’re determined to protect as we continue to grow.”
Annie said the opening reflected her plans for the company’s next stage, while building on its 25-year history.
“Cope&Co has achieved an incredible amount over the last 25 years and I feel very privileged to be building on that legacy.”
“There will always be fresh ideas and new opportunities, but growth has to mean something.”
“For us, opening in Alfreton isn’t simply about having another office. It’s about strengthening our roots, building new relationships and creating opportunities for future growth.”
“It’s the start of an exciting new chapter for us and I can’t think of a better place for it to begin.”
Managing Director Susan Cope said: “When we started the business, every decision was about creating something that would stand the test of time.”
“To see Cope&Co continue to grow and invest in places like Alfreton is incredibly rewarding.”
“What makes me most proud is that the values that got us here haven’t changed. It’s still all about our clients and offering the very best service.”
The expansion comes as Cope&Co has recently been invited to become a founder member of Leading Estate Agents of the World, recognising the company’s growing reputation within the property sector.
