Award-winning estate agency Connells is celebrating 75 years in business this year.

After opening its first branch in Luton in 1936, Connells has become one of the largest and most successful estate agency networks in the UK.

It now has well over 150 branches nationwide and is consistently voted the best large agency at the annual Estate Agency of the Year Awards.

“Although Connells has come a long way since its first branch opening, the company built its success on providing consistently high levels of customer service and this ethos still stands today,” says Sue Brotheridge Branch Partner for Connells in Kidderminster.

“Here in Kidderminster we are very proud to be part of such a successful and well-established agency like Connells. 75 years in business is a great achievement and testimony to the fantastic service and people we have employed throughout the years,” Sue continues.

Since 1936, Connells has developed from a singe estate agency branch to a large corporate company offering a spectrum of property-related services including mortgage services, home conveyancing, asset management and surveying, to name a few. Interestingly, Connells Chief Executive Stuart Flavell, its Group Chief Executive David Livesey and its Group Chairman Stephen Shipperley have served 75 years at Connells between them, although it is not true that any of them were at Connells for the first opening in 1936.

“I’m sure when Larry Connell opened the doors of the first Connells branch, he could not have known how large and successful the estate agency would become,” says Sue. “Today, we are helping more local home buyers and sellers find and secure their dream property than ever before.”
