Savills has secured its position as the UK’s number one property services firm by turnover, in leading trade publication Property Week’s annual survey of property advisors, for the ninth consecutive year and since the survey was established. Published on 8 June 2012 the survey ranks Savills as number one above competitors Jones Lang LaSalle, CBRE and Knight Frank who were placed in second, third and fourth place respectively.

According to the survey, Savills increased its UK turnover to £352.3 million in 2011, which is a 5.7% growth on the 2010 figure, while Jones Lang LaSalle had a reported turnover of £335.6 million and CBRE stood at £236 million.

Savills also retained its fourth and fifth place positions in the European and Global league tables respectively.

Jeremy Helsby, CEO of Savills, says: “To maintain the number one ranking for a ninth consecutive year is a fantastic result and a real testament to the strength of the Savills business and dedication of our staff.

“We delivered another strong set of results last year despite the changeable markets and look forward to building on our success further as we continue to grow the business both geographically and by sector.”

Property Week’s 2012 survey provides a guide to the annual performance of the top 60 property firms. It notes that the combined turnover for these firms has increased by £128.3 million, compared to the 2011 results.
