Experienced manager moves up a gear with new brokerage role

Business Partnership is continuing to expand with the appointment of a new regional partner in South East England

Luke Thomas brings more than 20 years’ senior management experience with car hire giant Enterprise Holdings in the UK and Ireland to his new role helping business buyers and sellers in Twickenham, Kingston and Sutton and the surrounding areas.

Thomas, who is making a fresh start after being made redundant last year, will use his customer service, finance and sales expertise to support business owners making life-changing decisions to achieve their goals.   

“I was interested in running my own business and Business Partnership gives me the opportunity to do that with the backing of a major franchise,” said Thomas, who is originally from Kent and now lives in Twickenham after spending two years in Dublin.

“The challenges and changes individuals and businesses have seen during the pandemic has caused many people to rethink and reset their perspectives and this in turn presents us with opportunities. There will be people like myself who have money to invest in a new business and those who wish to make a lifestyle change by selling their existing business and retiring or buying a new business in a different location.” 

One of the largest independent companies in the sector, Business Partnership have more than 20 regional partners across the UK offering a comprehensive brokerage service to business buyers and sellers. The combined sale value for clients in 2020 was more than £13.5m.
