Local economies and communities rely on local businesses, so the opening of the latest Martin & Co office is great news for Witney and the surrounding area. The importance of the locally owned letting agent’s opening was recognised by the leader of the opposition, David Cameron, who opened the office on Monday.

 

Martin & Co Witney franchise owners Judi and Andrew Ramsay have an extensive background in the property industry having set up, and developed, an Estate Agency in Spain. ’Valencia Choice’ was a start up company which enjoyed considerable success over a six year period before Judi and Andrew decided to return to the UK to start a new challenge. The local husband and wife team are ready to take lettings in the Witney area on to the next level.

 

“We have had considerable experience as landlords ourselves and are well aware of the generally poor level of service offered by other agents. We have also run our own successful estate agency in Spain, so we know what it takes to satisfy our clients. Attention to detail, working with landlords & tenants as individuals, and striving to match their requirements to the property, should ensure that we will build a reputation for customer service that will establish Martin & Co as the agent of choice in Witney” commented Judi.

 

“Housing is a basic need, but too often the service available to landlords and tenants is also basic. We know the industry and our key principle is to offer the best customer service available in the industry.” added Andrew.

 

There is no better place to be than Witney at the moment, according to Judi. “We have owned a house near Witney for many years. The area is expanding rapidly and is designated as a ‘boom’ town close to Oxford, with a lot of new housing developments, and so the location for a new rental business is very attractive.”

 

“We believe that Witney will continue to grow and need more housing. The council has plans for a number of new developments in Witney itself, and the nearby town of Carterton is home to the Brize Norton airbase which is expanding because of the closure of RAF Lyneham in the next couple of years. We have every intention of being a significant part of that local growth.” added Judi.

 

Although Martin & Co are a national brand, Andrew is keen to stress that the office is owned and will be run locally. “As a start-up business we will initially be employing one new member of staff but we plan to expand rapidly and be in a position to bring more employment to the area. We also intend to join the local community organisations that ‘put something back’ into the local community.”

 

“We care about the local area are delighted that David Cameron was able to come and officially open the office. We ask the question; if you’re anything other than delighted with your letting agent what’s stopping you from contacting us?”

The opening the latest Martin & Co office in Witney will increase the award winning brand’s coverage further across the local region, with offices located in Oxford, Banbury, Abingdon and Cirencester.
