After graduating from Birmingham City University with a degree in real estate, he gained experience with agents Silk Plant & Associates, First City Ltd and CoStar Group.

Tom Bromwich, managing partner of Bromwich Hardy, which is based in Coventry, said: “Tom comes to us with an excellent reputation and proven track record, and his appointment signals our intent to grow our professional team.

“Tom joins at a time when we are seeing a surge in agency instructions and he is a welcome addition to Bromwich Hardy.”

Tom Lea said: “Bromwich Hardy has a growing reputation not only across Warwickshire, where it is clearly the leading agency, but also across the Midlands and nationally.

“I am excited by the vision of Tom Bromwich and Dawn Cooper and I am keen to be a part of Bromwich Hardy’s continuing success story.”

Bromwich Hardy is consistently named as Warwickshire’s leading agency for disposals and acquisitions and regularly features in the top five agencies in the West Midlands. Already this year, Bromwich Hardy has lifted the 2024 CoStar title for the most office disposals in Coventry, and the most active single branch agency for sales and acquisitions in the city.
