January 2005 saw the development of a dynamic team led by Anthony Weston specialising in the environment, with specific reference to Environmental Stewardship. Ecological Assessments, European Protected Species and habitat surveys are now successfully being completed.
2007 saw the addition of Matthew Berryman to the CLM fold. Matthew strengthens CLM's farm and estate management team, with over 15 years experience of providing farm business advice originally in Yorkshire, the Midlands and Eastern Counties and more recently in the South East particularly within Sussex and Surrey.
2008 was an extremely busy and exciting year. CLM completed the acquisition of Humberts, Edenbridge, formerly Fox and Manwaring. The Edenbridge office has since been rebranded as Fox and Manwaring Limited. This acquisition has added strength to CLM's existing lettings service, rural estate management and surveying team. Fox and Manwaring also has a sales office, successfully selling a range of property from flats and town houses to country houses and farms.
The storm that surrounded 2009 has taken CLM into new areas of work including business restructuring, business sales and property development, outside the rural sphere. Good management skills are transferable and the CLM team helped clients make difficult decisions in 2009. Building success continues despite the recession.
