The Name Turner

In recent years Norman has be involved in the management of two businesses :-
	Cooke Rudling & Company * Development of Real Estate Consultancy * Turnover growth year on year * 3 staff to 22 in 6 years * Many Blue Chip and Plc Clients * Full Range of Services * Involvement in Some of the Midlands Largest Schemes * Over 1500 Property Taxation Appeals on Each Revaluation. * Property Management In All Sectors * Appraisal Work For "Big Four" High Street Banks. * Specialist Valuations For Fuel Retailers * Strategic Property Advice for Blue chip Companies, Local Government, Public Utilities, Corporations and Private Clients Introduction Formed in 1990 with 2 surveyors and one admin member, Cooke Rudling grew in 6 years to 20 staff and increased it's first year turnover ten fold. Norman Turner joined the practice in 1993 and bought into the partnership in 1998, having introduced a number of blue chip clients and major development schemes. Included within the schemes was the prestigious "Park Lane" Redevelopment at Wednesbury West Midlands which extended to over a million square feet of retail, leisure, warehousing trade centre and residential development. Norman effectively became managing partner on the departure of one of the original partners in 1998 and agreed to purchase the equity of the remaining original partner in 2001. Following the departure of the original partner in 1998 the business was in need of re -structuring but maintained turnover at improving levels with overheads reduced by 50% Summary Cooke Rudling represents a good example of organic growth within the consultancy field. Growth in professional consultancy is so frequent via acquisition but the company outstripped even its more acquisitive competitors. By providing quality service, honest advice and a high degree of expertise the company won the respect of clients and competitors alike. Cooke Rudling became easily the most active independent firm of rating surveyors in their home city of Birmingham and has probably the strongest brokerage presence in the nearby industrial region known as the "Black Country"
