17-year anniversary Venture

A North-East estate agency is celebrating a milestone anniversary with a new look.
Venture Properties, which has branches in Darlington, Chesterle- Street, Crook and Durham, is marking its 17th year in business this year, after launching in Darlington in 2006.
To help celebrate the occasion, the agency has also undergone a rebrand, with an overhaul of its website and new branding for its ‘for sale’ boards.
Director Michael O’Connor said: “We wanted to make our branding more contemporary; however we still wanted to keep the essence there as the green and grey have become synonymous with Venture, so we didn’t want to lose that element of recognition.
“We’re very mindful of the fact that we need to stay current and decided to incorporate the re-brand with designing a new website as well, which we’ve made more user-friendly.
“The two stand-outs of the re-brand come in the form of a new website and re-designed ‘For Sale’ and ‘To Let’ boards. The new website is sleek and modern, with impressive photography and videos.
“It’s also much more user-friendly; requesting a viewing, valuation or a mortgage appointment is just a click of a button away. Meanwhile, the boards have been changed to incorporate the new darker green and grey colours, making for branding that is fit for purpose in 2023.”
Venture started life as a letting agent in 2006 from a Darlington living room, with one laptop. After a successful first two years in the well-established local market, the company branched out into sales and now employs over 40 members of staff across five offices.
