Colliers International has expanded its Kamloops operations, adding four new advisors to the team: Mona Murray, who has assumed the position of managing broker, Tanya Cokran, Stephan Klausat and Ken Ellerbeck.

“With the addition of Mona and her team, Colliers now services over 80 per cent of the province’s population, better positioning us to meet and exceed the needs of our regional, national and international owner, developer and occupier clients,” he said. “We are thrilled to have them join us and enable us to elevate our capabilities in both the region and province.”
