Warwickshire commercial property agency has launched into 2025 with two new appointments.
Rob Lord, who was previously with Bromwich Hardy on a year-long work placement, and Layla Bhayat have joined the Coventry-based business.
Tom Bromwich, managing partner of Bromwich Hardy, said: “Rob spent a year with us on placement during his studies for a degree in real estate at Sheffield Hallam University, so we knew the quality of his work and his client-focused attention to detail.”
Rob, aged 24, lives in Leamington Spa and attended Princethorpe College in Rugby. He enjoys football and cricket and has recently become a member of Coventry Golf Club.
He said: “Having enjoyed my placement year with Bromwich Hardy and got to know the business, the clients and the team here, it was just a natural progression to come back….if they would have me!”
Layla Bhayat, aged 21, has joined Bromwich Hardy as a graduate property asset surveyor, having graduated in the summer of 2024 with a BSc 2.1 with Honours in real estate from Birmingham City University.
Brought up in Coventry, she attended Finham Park School and lists among her hobbies, modifying cars.
“I only have a Seat Ibiza at present so there is a limit to what you can do with it, but I can dream!” she said.
“I am really pleased to have joined Bromwich Hardy because when I first made contact, they were not actively looking for someone for this position, but we had a very positive chat and a job offer eventually came of it.”
Dawn Cooper, partner in Bromwich Hardy, said: “Layla impressed us the more we spoke and so as we became busier during 2024 it seemed a natural and right choice to offer her a post.”
Bromwich Hardy is one of the country’s largest independent commercial property agencies, regularly featuring in independent lists of the most active firms in the industry.
