TRADING Places estate agents has appointed Michael Booth as assistant manager in the busiest of their three branches, Stretford.

Having previously worked at Thornley Groves and Christie & Co, Michael has a wealth of experience in both the domestic and commercial marketplace.

Michael said: “I moved to Trading Places because I recognised that it’s a company that is constantly trying to differentiate themselves in the market place, and they are always one step ahead of their competitors.

"It is important to me to work at a firm with a great local reputation and where the customer journey is at the centre of everything they do.

"I’m thrilled to have been given this opportunity and look forward to working with the whole team across all of our offices - Stretford, Urmston and Chorlton - to continue to build the Trading Places brand, reputation and success."

Steven Cox, director of Trading Places for more than19 years, said: “As a family firm for over 25 years, we place great importance on the quality of our team.

"The fact that we have been able to attract a young professional of Michael’s calibre is representative of how Trading Places is continuing to grow and develop as a firm.

"I want people to recognise my company for quality service, focussing on our client’s requirements and not just the numbers. I am confident Michael will prove to be a real asset to the business.”
