A Kendal estate agent has expanded his business creating several new jobs.
Scott Bainbridge Estate and Letting Agents, on Market Place, have taken on five new staff and also regularly employ local tradesmen.
The business has grown rapidly since it moved to Market Place two years ago and now has a letting manager, photographer and office manager.
Managing Director, Iain Bainbridge, said: "We are determined that we will get properties marketed as effectively as any other agent. If you provide a good service and don't rip people off then they will recommend you - our expansion has come because of reputation and the sheer number of hours we are in the office."
Iain, who is battling Multiple Sclerosis, prides himself on going the extra mile for his customers.
"If it's not Christmas I'll do anything they want!" he said.
