Partner Profiles

Wright Manley is an independent firm, owned by six Partners.

Please find below the profile of each Partner.

N. A. Eckersley FRICS

Born and bred in Cheshire, Nigel Eckersley went to school in Shropshire and joined the firm, having gained agricultural experience working on dairy arable and beef and pig farms in both counties. This experience was invaluable when Nigel joined the firm as a trainee in 1978 which was shortly before the amalgamation of Wright and Partners and Henry Manley and Son Ltd gaining experience in both the Livestock market and within the professional and agency offices. Nigel studied by correspondence course from Reading University by day release and then qualified in 1983 and is now a Fellow of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors.

Nigel is a Partner in charge of the residential and professional offices specialising in residential and agricultural property and the sale of all types of property by public auction, tender and private treaty.

C. G. Norbury

Clive Norbury is the son of a Denbighshire tenant farmer and moved to Cheshire in 1975 aged 18, just a few days after taking his 'A' level exams, having secured a position as a pupil auctioneer with Henry Manley & Sons at Crewe earlier that Spring and has been there ever since.

Over the years he has auctioned most commodities but now specialises in pedigree and commercial dairy and beef cattle and heads this department for the firm today.  He now heads a brilliant team of vibrant and keen people who all share his  enthusiasm to provide an excellent and efficient service to all our clients.

He was delighted to accept an invitation to buy into the firm's equity in 1995 and now shares the responsibilities of running the whole firm with his fellow Partners.

His area of expertise is Livestock Sales and Valuations and he is considered one of the leading individuals in this specialist field in the whole of the UK.
