PROPERTY agents Goadsby have promoted a senior manager from the hotels & leisure division to associate director.

Mark Nurse specialises in catering and licensed businesses such as pubs, restaurants and coffee shops across Dorset, Hampshire and Wiltshire.

Having previously worked for Goadsby in the late 1980s within the same field, Mark was invited to rejoin the company five years ago with the challenge to develop catering and licensed business sales.

Ian Palmer, hotels & leisure divisional director, said: "Since Mark returned to the fold he has established a significantly more dominant presence in this sector for the company and fully deserves his promotion."
