Hide AdManaging director Billy Harrison said: “We’ve been operating in Manchester and the north-west for a number of years and because of the level of commercial office work coming onto the market the time is right to have a more dedicated team represented in the city.”
Sharkey has already worked with the likes of Co-op and Tesco in the Manchester area. Its other clients include audio chip developer Cirrus Logic, Grand Theft Auto creator Rockstar North and Clydesdale Bank.
The company has secured more than £60 million of new project activity since the start of the year, building on the £95m it landed in 2016.
Harrison added: “We’re excited at the level of opportunity in Manchester and across the north-west where there is such a vibrant business scene with some amazing companies and underpinned by a dynamic property industry.”
