Huddersfield entrepreneur Chan Khangura has announced a significant expansion in his property business.
Chan, owner and managing director of Whitegates Estate Agents Huddersfield, Brighouse and Holmfirth, has acquired the Whitegates branch covering Pontefract, Castleford and South Elmsall.
The expansion means that the company – run by Chan and his father Kashmir – now manages more than 1,500 rental properties across the region.
Chan said: “I can honestly say it has been one of the longest and hardest deals I have completed but I have to thank everyone involved in helping make it happen.
“I am lucky to be supported by many different people in my professional life, a wonderful staff base, family and my father who helps tremendously on a daily basis.”
The expansion also means promotion for long-standing employee Liam Reilly who will become associate director and oversee the sales operation from the Pontefract and South Elmsall offices.
Chan added: “Liam has become a great friend and has grown considerably over the last six years and now is the time for another chapter in his professional life. I know he will be a big success in his new role.”
