Shy, but not retiring

Article Abstract:

It is important to be on property agents' lists for potential estates and portfolios, according to Northern Trust Co Managing Director Keith Bolton. He emphasizes that the company selects agents that bring it the right kind of business, and denies that Whittle Jones does everything for it. He believes that re-evaluating schemes and offering flexible terms to the company's 2,500 tenants is vital to ensuring tenant loyalty.
