A LONG-STANDING Newcastle property firm has been acquired by a Newry-based commercial and residential property agency. 

James Wilson & Son, which was founded 110 year ago, has been taken over by Bradley NI.

It is the third major acquisition by the company since 2017 and adds to their existing branches in Newry, Warrenpoint and Belfast.

Their new office in Newcastle will be led by branch manager Noeleen McAlinden, who joins the existing James Wilson & Son team, who are retained as part of the acquisition. 

William Wilson, from James Wilson & Son, said: “There is real synergy between our two businesses and we share very similar values, particularly our community focus.

“This gives me great confidence that the team at Bradley NI will continue to deliver positively for our existing clients, as well as the wider community.

“They will be exceptional stewards of our company’s rich history and bring great value to the local property market,” Mr Wilson added.

Garett O’Hare, managing director of Bradley NI, said: “This is an exciting development for Bradley NI. 

“It represents a major step forward as we significantly extend our presence across South Down.

“It’s also an important development for the property market in the local area.

“James Wilson & Son has been a firm fixture of the Newcastle community for over a century now, a legacy we’re very proud to continue and one we look forward to building upon further as we grow our range of professional services across both the commercial and residential markets.”
