Dealmaker – Andrew Clarke, Kirkby Diamond
“Once again, Bedfordshire proves that it is the right location for existing and new businesses to establish themselves. Forward thinking by local authorities and developers is adding to the attraction of the county, and new developments across the region reinforce this.
“With offices in Luton, Bedford and Milton Keynes, Kirkby Diamond continues to demonstrate the importance of its strategic location in the heart of the M1 corridor, with staff providing clients with unrivalled knowledge and experience of the commercial property and development sectors.
“While this is an award for an individual, it is very much a result of the strong team ethic at Kirkby Diamond.”
