Commercial expansion for Garness Group

L to R: Rosie Crux, Barry Crux and David Garness

Garness Group is expanding its work across North Yorkshire with York-based Barry Crux & Company becoming part of its offering of specialist property consultancy businesses.

The company will operate closely alongside Hull-based Garness Jones – bringing together the combined experience in the commercial property sector to cover East Yorkshire, North Yorkshire, and Lincolnshire.

As part of the deal, Barry Crux & Company, which has an established reputation in hotel, leisure and hospitality sectors in particular, will continue to trade under the same name, with the same long-established team remaining in their roles. However, it will now be part of the successful Garness Group of businesses including Pure Block Management, which provides management services for leasehold owners and developers of residential developments, Gro Residential Management, which manages and lets residential properties on behalf of landlords, and Garness Jones.

David Garness, managing director of Garness Group, said: “We’re absolutely thrilled to be adding a company of the quality, standing and reputation of Barry Crux & Company to our offering. This is a positive step forward for all involved.

“Expanding our work further into North Yorkshire has been a long-term strategic goal for us, as has securing more work relating to licensed properties, hotels and leisure sector properties.

“To do this through adding a business with unrivalled knowledge and experience of the market in North Yorkshire is really pleasing.”
