Independent property brand Cope&Co celebrates exciting chapter with new Alfreton shop
Derby's biggest independent property brand, Cope&Co, has opened another branch of its estate agency in Alfreton.
The new shop on King Street marks an exciting chapter for the independent property brand as it announces its new CEO, Annie Cope.
The Alfreton branch is one of the first major developments since Annie, 28, took up the reins and reflects the company's ambition to build an even stronger presence in the community it serves.
The expansion follows years of growth for the Derby-based business which already works with homeowners, landlords, investors and tenants across the Alfreton area.
The large residential, sales and property lettings business says the new office is about becoming more connected to local communities and providing clients with a more localised service.
Cope&Co, which has its HQ in Canterbury House on Stephenson Way in Derby, is one of the region's leading businesses in lettings, property management services and residential sales.
Annie Cope 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."
The branch opening marks another milestone in the evolution of the business, which has grown from a small Derby office into the region's largest independent property brand.
The Alfreton office has been designed to offer a fresh, more modern approach to the traditional estate agency experience, creating a welcoming space where clients can seek advice and support through some of life's biggest decisions.
Daren Cope the company’s Finance Director 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."
For Annie, the Alfreton office offers an early glimpse of how she intends to shape the future of the company.
She said "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."
Susan Cope, Cope&Co’s Managing Director 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 Alfreton expansion comes during a significant period for Cope&Co, which has also 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.
