And CEO Annie takes the helm
Family-run Derby-based lettings, property management services and residential sales agency Cope&Co has opened a branch in Alfreton and appointed a new CEO, Annie Cope.
The new branch, on King Street in the town, is one of Cope’s first moves since being promoted to CEO. The company says the opening reflects its ambition to build an even stronger presence in the community it serves.
The business already works with homeowners, landlords, investors and tenants across the Alfreton area, but says it hopes the new office will help it become more connected to local communities and provide clients with a more localised service.
‘An important moment’
Cope said: “This feels like a really important moment for the business. Alfreton has been a huge part of our story for several years and we’ve developed some fantastic relationships with clients here. Opening an office in the town is a natural next step and one we’re incredibly excited about.
“We want to be part of the community. We want local people to know who we are, where to find us and feel confident that we’re invested in the area for the long term.”

Daren Cope, finance director at Cope&Co, said: “Property is about far more than just bricks and mortar. Behind every sale, every purchase and every tenancy is a person putting their trust in you. That has always been at the heart of this business and it’s something we’re determined to protect as we continue to grow.”
Susan Cope, Cope&Co’s managing director, said: “When we started the business, every decision was about creating something that would stand the test of time. To see Cope&Co continue to grow and invest in places like Alfreton is incredibly rewarding.”
Cope&Co was also recently invited to become a founder member of Leading Estate Agents of the World, a newly formed network of estate and letting agents.
