Ed Brentnall, joint Head of Dow Schofield Watts Transaction Services, says: “With the sustained upturn in mergers and acquisitions in the North West, and the volume of deals we have in the pipeline, we felt now was the right time to expand our team. We’re excited to welcome Alex and Elliot to the team.”
