Article Summary

North Property Group Directors Oli Banks and Tim Coen proudly attended the Sunday Times 100 awards earlier this month. The Sunday Times 100 is a list that compiles Britain’s fastest-growing private companies. The league table takes on the baton from The Sunday Times Fast Track 100 series, which celebrated the country’s leading entrepreneurs for 24 years. The 2023 league table is supported by Barclays Private Bank, DHL Express and Inflexion.

NPG were named as the fastest growing and only property company on the list, as well as 46th overall. Oli and Tim have led North Property Group from a start-up venture working in a small office in Leeds to multiple offices across Manchester and Leeds, with a multi-million-pound turnover in just over six years.

Words on this achievement from the co-founder

Upon being announced on the prestigious list in June 2023, Creative Director and co-founder of North Property Group, Oli Banks, said: “We are absolutely delighted to have been named in The Sunday Times 100, Britain’s fastest-growing private companies. There are over 4.2 million private companies in the UK and to be placed as one of the top 100, fastest growing companies, is a remarkable achievement.”

“It is great recognition for the journey we have made over the last six years. From a start-up venture in 2017, we have gone on to sell more than £500m worth of UK property and help thousands of investors begin to build buy to let portfolios which create passive investment. We have become the fastest growing property agency in the country; as of 2023, we are selling more than £130m worth of property each year and now manage close to £160m worth of assets on behalf our clients.”

“It goes without saying that we wouldn’t be where we are today if it wasn’t for our dedicated and hard-working employees who had faith in the vision Tim & I had from day one. We have created an ethical and transparent property agency, which operates based on data and facts, with no fluff, waffle, or pushy sales tactics, and it has seen us offer some of the best buy to let investments in the UK. Our service offers a truly A-Z service, incorporating both sales and lettings, which really suits investors who take a hands-off approach to property investing.”

“We’ve disrupted the industry norms, digitalising our customer acquisition strategy, and revolutionising the way property investments are bought. Our digital-native approach has enabled us to widen our audience and allowed us reach investors around the globe at the simple click of a button.”

“Our staff head count has grown in number from two to 44 and every employee has been instrumental to the success of the company. We aim to increase this to over 75 by the end of 2023.”

“The support from our developers and clients has made this journey and recognition all the more satisfying. We’ve expanded across the country already, opening further offices in Leeds and Manchester.”

“We have further expansion plans with several key developments launching across the North West, Yorkshire, and London in the coming months. We are not slowing down, and we will continue with our profitable growth plans, where we expect to reach a £10m turnover and create a further 30 roles across the business. It’s an incredibly exciting time for our business and I can’t wait to see how we can disrupt this industry even further.”
