Century for Martin & Co Premises Manager
By Prne, Gaea News NetworkSunday, October 4, 2009
LONDON - Premises Manager of the UK’s No.1 letting agent, Emma Dakiniewicz has reached a career milestone. Emma has successfully completed 100 shop fits, helping Martin & Co franchise owners to make their mark in their local area. 100 shop fits is an impressive achievement for any individual or organisation, but Emma has managed to achieve this figure in just over 2 years! This figure once again underlines the success and consistency of Martin & Co, who are again bucking the trend by continuing to grow at a record rate, and now have over 170 offices throughout the UK.
Emma was delighted at reaching the century landmark, “It is fantastic being part of such a successful franchise whose growth, since I joined in 2007, has increased year on year. I have been involved with commercial premises since leaving university in 2002 and I still enjoy the satisfaction of negotiating a great deal for a shop unit and seeing the process through to being fully fitted out as a Martin & Co office.”
“Working with Martin & Co I have completed shop fits for both new franchise owners and existing franchise owners expanding into additional offices within their territory. Over the last year the recession has increased the availability of commercial units and there are fantastic deals to be done.
“I’m looking forward to continuing to assist with the sourcing of premises for Martin & Co as we already have launches scheduled in the first quarter of 2010.”
On reaching this milestone John Coupe, National Operations Director, commented, “Emma works incredibly hard, covering the whole of the UK identifying potential premises, negotiating with commercial landlords and project managing the shop-fitting process to Martin & Co’s exacting brand guidelines. We are very pleased that she is part of the Martin & Co team.”

Over 100 people, landlords and tenants, became victims of a rogue Martin & Co franchisee recently in Chester when Geoff Lavery embezzled around a quarter of a million pounds; none has been recovered. He also took keys belonging to the rental properties he should have been managing. The keys were recovered by the liquidators appointed to oversee the liquidation of Lavery’s two companies and were, subsequently, returned to the owners. Ian Wilson, MD of Martin & CO, has threatened to sue the landlords if they do not send the keys to Martin & Co so that the latter can continue to “manage” the properties. As if we haven’t been hurt enough! Ian Wilson distanced himself from the victims but apparently still wants control and income from the rental properties. What a bastard. |
