This led to a quick succession of growth for the company.

Andrew Mikhail, chairman of MHALG, said at the time of the acquisition “I am incredibly excited to have bought such a prestigious business and keeping Paula involved in the business was crucial to me. Paula was David’s rock both within and outside of the business for the last 21 years until his untimely death in 2019.”
“I got to know David and Paula extremely well in the later years as I used their services and was so impressed with the way that they conducted the business it was such an easy decision to make the purchase.”
“When we were completing our due diligence, what impressed me most was the professionalism and work ethic of the sales department who offer excellent standards of customer service, along with their highly skilled negotiators to ensure the best price is achieved for their clients. In addition, the sheer volume of lettings that they successfully manage across the region, together with how efficiently this is ran for the landlords.”
He continues: “Southport was an obvious location for our new office. The area holds a special place in my heart, and I have long standing connections with the town. I am committed to investing and creating jobs in the area, and I am incredibly excited to continue this investment with the expansion of David Davies Sales and Lettings Agent into the area.
"My promise to grow David Davies to become one of the largest Sales and Letting Agencies’ within the North-West, continues with this further new office.
"It's already a strong, highly regarded brand within St Helens and we are excited to introduce our services to Southport."
