Bramleys continue to remain an independent business operated by local people, for local people, and employing local people. Bramleys have survived a major fire, ridden the rollercoaster of market booms followed by recessions and still to this day remain an agile business with its key strength being the knowledge and dedication of key staff supplemented by the zest of the next generation.
The company ethos is a commitment to excellence, always offering a professional and unbiased service, along with a personalised experience. The success of the company lies in the calibre of the staff, from the partners through to the negotiators, who strive to excel in every aspect of their role. This is echoed in the brand values, which have stayed the same since the birth of the company in 1958: a professional, friendly and high-quality service provided by experienced and knowledgeable staff who always act with integrity for a company that has customer focus at the heart of the business.
Bramleys was founded by John Bramley who was a Chartered Surveyor and Auctioneer, formerly working for Armitage, Hewitt and Helliwell.
In this period, the market was mainly made up of property management portfolios with few people owning their own home.
Bramleys held regular sale room auctions in the Huddersfield town centre in this time whilst we began expanding our estate agency services.
Peter Butler joined Bramleys to reinforce the professional surveying and valuation services we offered and went into Partnership with John.
Andrew Moorhouse joined Bramleys from Eddisons as a valuer and auctioneer.
A fire started in adjacent hairdressing unit next to Bramleys due to an electrical fault with a shower.
It set fire to the timber lining of an old lift shaft and swept through the building, affecting the firm of solicitors located on the top two floors.
The staff had to vacate for a period of 18 months whilst refurbishment works were undertaken.
Following the refurbishment, we took over the top two floors of 14 St Georges Square in preparation for further expansion.
Paul Keighley and Alex McNeil joined Peter Butler and Andrew Moorhouse in the Partnership.
Bramleys purchased former established Estate Agent Holmes and Gardner and acquired our Heckmondwike and Mirfield offices, of which some staff are still with us today.
Bramleys purchased premises in Elland and opened our second Calderdale office.
