We would also like to thank Barry for all the help and guidance he has given us through our period of unprecedented growth in the last few years”.

I have held the firm in high regard for several years and I have greatly enjoyed my consultancy work, which has helped me really understand how the firm operates. Fisher German is a highly professional business with creativity, dedication and ambition. They deliver to the highest standard both in traditional land and property management as well as in the more technical fields of planning, development, energy and utilities and I look forward to the challenge of chairing them over the coming years.”
