Derby’s biggest independent property brand announces new CEO
Derby’s biggest independent property brand, Cope&Co, has announced the appointment of its new CEO. Annie Cope, who has worked for the residential, sales and property lettings business since 2021, takes over the reins from her mother, Susan Cope.
Annie has progressed through a number of roles within the business before taking up this new position. As a graduate of Nottingham Trent University, where she gained an undergraduate degree in Law with Business LLB (Hons) and a Postgraduate Diploma in Law, she is more than ready for her new challenge.
The business’s dynamic transition from mother to daughter celebrates the company’s rapid growth and reflects on key milestones in Cope&Co’s impressive 25-year history.
Annie, 28, said it was an honour to be taking on a more prominent role at Cope&Co.
“I have got a tough act to follow,” said Annie, who says her parents, Daren and Susan, ploughed all their time and energy into building one of Derby’s most successful businesses within the property industry. They have achieved so much over the last two decades and I can’t wait to bring some fresh leadership and energy to the business. I will be building on everything that has already been achieved at Cope&Co, with a specific focus on further success and growth. It is a new chapter for the company, and we are absolutely ready.”
