London estate agent Martyn Gerrard has announced that it will be launching a new equity share option for its longstanding employees, which will see senior staff offered the opportunity to have an option to become a shareholder in the business.

The move is designed to mark the firm’s 60-year anniversary, having been launched in north London by founder Martyn Gerrard in May 1964.

The estate agency, which now has 14 offers across North and North West London, is now headed up by Simon Gerrard.

He said: “We are incredibly proud to continue standing by the values and principles that my father founded this agency on sixty years ago.

“We have always believed that it is people who make a business, which is why I am so proud to have had David Smith, Warren Price and Greg Tsuman as my fellow Directors for 44 years, 33 years, and 22 years respectively. We strongly believe in recognising, encouraging, and rewarding our team’s hard efforts to provide best in class services to clients. We are delighted to be launching the new shareholder scheme for our senior staff.”

“We look forward to seeing Martyn Gerrard continue to succeed and grow,” he added.
