Ashby property consultancy Fisher German has announced the re-election of its managing partner.
Andrew Bridge will continue in the role, heading up the firm for another three years.
The business, which has two offices in the town, has also invited associate director Helena Tibbitts, who is based in Ashby, to become a partner from October 1.
Mr Bridge became managing partner in April 2019 and will complete his first three-year term in March 2022.
A spokesman said he stood uncontested for a second term, garnering overwhelming support from the partnership.
Mr Bridge said: “When I became managing partner in 2019, working closely with the wider partnership, I quickly began implementing our big agenda including a new strategic direction and supporting vision and values.
“Negotiating our way through the pandemic has been challenging but with the dedication and commitment shown by our colleagues, we have stuck to our ambitious plans and I look forward to the firm seeing these benefits during my second term in office.”
Ms Tibbitts will join the partnership following a recommendation from the senior partner group overseeing the firm’s Pathway to Partnership scheme, which aims to prepare associate directors as partners and business leaders.
