Century 21 UK, the estate and letting agency franchisor, has opened its latest office in Salford.

The Salford office is run by Roger Claughton, who also owns Century 21 Halifax, and offers a variety of property services including sales, lettings, property management and commercial property sales.

Claughton (pictured, right), said: “This is truly an exciting time for both myself personally and my team as we open the doors of Century 21 Salford. The support that Century 21 UK provides its offices is truly outstanding; if I were on my own, marketing and managing my business would be very difficult. Century 21 UK’s support network connects me with the high quality marketing and training I need to grow. It’s already worked for us in Halifax and I’m confident our Salford branch will be as, if not more, successful.

“We have experienced firsthand what Century 21 UK’s connection with the Shepherd Direct Group can mean for entrepreneurs looking to grow their businesses. Shepherd Direct have connected us to an industry-leading private rental sector project which will begin to introduce close to 1,000 new-build properties for rent in the North West of England early 2015.

“Century 21 Salford will be responsible for finding tenants for just over 400 of these properties; a great way to kick start our business and build awareness in the local area. Our connection to the world’s largest property franchise, Century 21, and backing by a fully integrated property services group, Shepherd Direct, gives us the clout to shoot for the more competitive deals in this marketplace.”
