REF: 10050

A fantastic opportunity for an ambitious Estate Manager to join the in-house property team of a successful, multi-generational family-owned business based in Bakewell, Derbyshire, in the heart of the Peak District.

The Group has a diverse property portfolio, currently predominantly commercial, as well as residential and rural property, holiday cottages, fishing, development opportunities, renewable energy and a range of other assets. Alongside managing and enhancing the existing portfolio, there is a clear strategic ambition to expand the Group’s rural and agricultural interests.
