Property cycle proves long slog for King Sturge's Bristol bikers

| No Comments | No TrackBacks

bike.jpgThe Focus desk is always hearing stories of agents going the extra mile in these tough times, but agents at King Sturge's Bristol office feel like they might be being taken for a ride.

King Sturge celebrates its 250th birthday this year and to mark the occasion it is holding an Olympic torch style bike ride between all of its UK offices.

However, while divvying up the country into ride-able chunks it seems some agents are going to be considerably more saddle sore than others.

Mark Bourne, head of the City office, seems to have lucked in having been tasked with riding the leg between the City and the West End, a distance of just under 3 miles.

A rather less smug Jeremy Richards seemed shocked to find out his office would be asked to ride between their work in Bristol and the Plymouth office. The distance is a whopping 120 miles away, and completely misses a baton change over at the Exeter office. Ouch!

Is this a literal payback possibly for regional agents boasting they don't see the peaks and troughs of London's market?
