The Bedford branch of Martin & Co. has new owners.

Business partners Shahid Miah, Jay Miah and Habib Rahman have taken on the business and its portfolio of managed properties after completing a sale deal with the owner.

The trio has extensive experience in retail and commercial banking and Jay has also spent more than a decade in sales, lettings and mortgage advice and is a Bedford resident.

Shahid said, “Prior to completing this purchase I was a branch director at a leading bank and put top class service at the forefront of what I do. With Jay’s background in property and local area knowledge and Habib’s expertise in portfolio management, business development and relationship management, I’m confident our wide-ranging skillset will help continue to make Martin & Co Bedford thrive.”

The branch on St. Loyes Street, Bedford, works closely with its neighbouring business in nearby Milton Keynes and is part of Martin & Co’s national network of more than 170 offices.

Shahid added, “The brand’s reputation and our ambition are a perfect match and that was what attracted us to Martin & Co when we were looking to start our property business.

“This is our first purchase but hopefully not the last””

Louise Griffiths, Martin & Co Managing Director said, “Alongside recent acquisitions, it is fantastic to see Shahid, Jay and Habib coming on board through a resale as Martin & Co continues to grow across the UK.”
