Dear Paul, Thank you very much for your kind advice. Indeed, your unfailing help in the sale of the Bedford property is much appreciated, especially your patience and resilience to fix the deal is remarkable. I am also grateful for your after-sale service in tidying up the outstanding matters with the tenant.”

- Maria

 “I would like to acknowledge the efforts and professionalism provided by Paul Tierney & his team in the sale of my asset in Beverley. This site was originally purchased by my father in the early 1980’s and has been our manufacturing home since then, the appointment for this asset was entrusted to Paul & his team offering the site for sale or lease via an EOI campaign. Form the initial campaign the team secured a new 7-year lease to Dulux, while these negotiations were protracted (due to the Global Pandemic), Paul and his team were persistent and secured the deal. The overall sale had a similar theme, but again the professionalism and persistence has resulted in the sale of the whole property to a local investor developer. The team at Colliers has proven their resilience and resolve over this process and demonstrated that they are a trusted advisor. Thank you to Paul and his team.”

- Mat Fitch, Director at Fusion Capital Holdings

 “We would like to acknowledge and recognize the professionalism of Paul Tierney in the sale of our assets in Salisbury. Paul has provided us consistent a highly informed advice since we first spoke to him in May 2019 with regards to the divestment of the Portfolio. We are extremely pleased with the outcome.

This was always going to be a sensitive sale in the circumstances and Paul was able to approach known active buyers in confidence and secure an offer promptly with conditions that were satisfied quickly producing and unconditional contract. We would like to thank Paul for all his efforts in managing the purchaser through some complications after the contract went unconditional and for keeping us fully informed throughout the process with the resultant settlement producing a great outcome for us.”
