PROPERTY agency Knight Frank has been acclaimed as the most active agency team in the Estate Gazette’s Deals Competition for 2009.

The firm’s Leeds and Sheffield offices completed more successful deals in the offices category than any other commercial property agent in Yorkshire last year.

Guy Cooke, partner for Knight Frank in Leeds, said: “This is a tremendous coup for Knight Frank in Yorkshire and is a tribute to everyone’s hard work in these challenging times.

“The office market has inevitably been slow as firms look to consolidate rather than expand, but there were deals to be done last year as our record shows, if the location and the strategy were right.

“We have great coverage across Yorkshire and Knight Frank is now looking to build on this success.”
