Sheffield property firm celebrates 15th anniversary in style

Omnia Property Group - Omnia Space, Omnia Offices and Omnia Estates - works across all areas of the property market, including block and commercial property management, serviced offices, student accommodation, residential lettings and facilities management.

The business, based at Omnia One, Queen Street, Sheffield city centre, was set up in 2005 and acquired by Joanne Race and Amy Ryan in a 2018 management buy-out.

Now the firm, which started with just two members of staff and one property on its books has a staff of 65 and a range of about 200 properties.

Joanne, managing director, said: “Omnia has long been an established and recognisable name in the South Yorkshire business community, but when Amy and myself came on board it was our clear intention to make it a nationwide brand.

“We have a young and enthusiastic team and one that has grown enormously to meet the demands of our expanding client base.

“Our 15th birthday celebrations are a tribute to their dedication and determination to maintain our place in an always challenging market place.”

Omnia’s portfolio includes the management of one million sq feet of office space, 1,500 residential properties and student beds and more than 1,800 block management units - more than £654m worth of property in total.

An Omnia spokesman said: “Across the group, Omnia is committed to delivering flexible solutions, value for money and the highest standards of customer service to all clients, whether they are landlords or tenants, maximising income and minimising expenditure.

“Recent successes have included The Oldway Centre in Swansea, a property development with a capacity for more than 550 students and being appointed to manage Plant Based Valley, near Newcastle, which is aiming to make the North East the world centre for the creation of plant-based foods, ideas, business and industry.”
