Husband and wife Daren and Susan Cope, alongside son James and daughter Annie, are bringing their different agencies under one roof.

So Professional Properties, James Cope Homes and the recently acquired Amber Homes – which all handle sales as well as lettings – will become cope&co in the organisation’s first major rebrand in 25 years.

Managing director Susan Cope says: “We want to bring all the strings of our business together and now is the time to do it. Daren and I have worked tirelessly to build the company and we decided that coming together, under one brand, was the way to progress.

“Family means everything to us, and we are proud that James and Annie will work as hard as us to grow cope&co.

“What they are achieving is phenomenal and we can’t wait to continue celebrating their successes.”

The new cope&co brand launches this month and a new block management service will also be launching in January.

Daren Cope adds: “Our new brand is a reflection of our amazing journey so far as a family, but it also marks our aspiration to continue growing as a business.

“We are proud of our family name – so why not celebrate it?

“It has been a real team effort. We are delighted with the outcome, and we now welcome people to cope&co, the new name in property in Derbyshire.”
