Property consultancy Ellis and Partners has moved into new offices in Grand Parade, Brighton.

The Bournemouth-based company specialises in agency, property management, project management and building surveying.

The Brighton office will include a specialist department dealing with surveying.

Ellis and Partners' flagship project in Brighton, the former Hanningtons department store development, is their largest to date.

The £50 million development involves the development of 15 shops and conversion of the upper floors to residential use.

The scheme has created more than 60 temporary and 200 permanent jobs.
