Knight Frank turnover up
Partners at Knight Frank have bucked the headlines by awarding bonuses totalling £46 million this year


Partners at Knight Frank have pocketed £46 million in bonuses this year after the group posted a 17% increase in turnover to year end April 30, 2008.
Knight Frank partners received an average of £780,000 each based on ‘robust’ performance for the year ended 30 April, 2008. The group reported turnover up 17% £333.9m but profits were down 7% to £59.2m. Last year, bonuses of over £1m were paid out to partners.
The figures reflect only the beginning of the fall in values that have since ravaged the UK property markets.
Nevertheless, Nick Thomlinson, senior partner and chairman of the Knight Frank Group, said he remained cautiously optimistic about the current year's trading.
‘We are now seven months into our new financial year and the world is a different place,’ he says.
‘However, in the first half of the new financial year we have traded profitably.’
Exquisite houses, the beauty of Nature, and how to get the most from your life, straight to your inbox.
Country Life is unlike any other magazine: the only glossy weekly on the newsstand and the only magazine that has been guest-edited by HRH The King not once, but twice. It is a celebration of modern rural life and all its diverse joys and pleasures — that was first published in Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee year. Our eclectic mixture of witty and informative content — from the most up-to-date property news and commentary and a coveted glimpse inside some of the UK's best houses and gardens, to gardening, the arts and interior design, written by experts in their field — still cannot be found in print or online, anywhere else.
