THE Mayor of Fareham, Captain Keith Estlin has formally opened a new head office for Daniells Harrison chartered surveyors in Wickham Road.

The firm has moved from Park Gate, to the Old Manor House, and following substantial refurbishment, opened its doors for business in its new home earlier this month.

In less than ten years, senior partners Chris Daniells and Philip Harrison have built the firm up to include offices at Fareham, Bournemouth and one on the Isle of Wight, with a staff of 30 and an annual turnover approaching £1.5million.

Mr Daniells said: "We are extremely proud to have been able to acquire such a prestigious building in Fareham to house our new head office, and we are deeply honoured that the mayor joined us to help mark this special occasion.''

Mr Harrison said: "It is also gratifying that so many of our clients who have supported us, were able to join us on such an important day in the history of the firm.''
