Andrew Bridge has been unanimously voted to stay on as managing partner of his fellow partners until at least April 2028, having first been elected in 2019. His re-election follows our merger with the former Matthews & Goodman in 2022, and the opening of a major new office in Birmingham in late 2023, which saw the business grow to one of around 800 employees.
Since Andrew took on the role of Managing Partner in 2019, the business has transformed. We have navigated the COVID-19 pandemic and adapted to a post-pandemic world, with new ways of working and a greater focus on colleague wellbeing. His re-election means that we will have experienced and consistent leadership well into the second half of the 2020s, and this means we have a strong platform on which to continue our impressive growth.
Andrew is now looking to continue this success by increasing our influence in major cities and ensuring clients receive a joined-up approach from the firm’s many areas of expertise. He said: “It’s a huge honour that Fisher German’s many partners saw fit to elect me again for a third term. It’s a real vote of confidence in the direction the firm is going in.
“As a firm, we not only want to help our clients with one issue but to enable them to maximise the value they get from us by assisting them in all sorts of property matters. We now have an incredible breadth of expert knowledge across our company, from investment; lease advisory, and valuations, to planning; sustainable energy; infrastructure consultancy; and more.
“Our clients are already reaping the benefits of this cross-section of expertise, and I am confident we can continue to grow our influence and win more instructions as I enter into my third term as managing partner.”
Andrew is also focusing on us leading by example when it comes to factors such as ESG and career progression. He said: “Many of our clients are increasingly focused on sustainability and ensuring their supply chain meets that standard – which of course includes Fisher German,” he added.
“While achieving monetary value for our clients is obviously important, we need to match our clients’ values by doing all we can to work sustainably too – whether through having greener office space, partnering with charities, encouraging our colleagues to stay physically and mentally healthy, and enabling them to progress their careers as far as they wish to. I’m looking forward to not only leading Fisher German’s growth as a company over the next few years but to growing those values beyond the bottom line too.”
