I came to estate agency when I bought our existing franchise in Beeston ‘way back’ in ’95 when the market was as difficult as it is now. Back then of course there was a lot less legislation and compliance issues, but together with my fellow Director there (Denis Knight) we set our stall to provide a professional and reliable service to our clients. We concentrated our efforts on building a good solid reputation locally and steadily the business grew with many referrals and recommendations. We now operate from three successful offices: Beeston, Sherwood and Heanor. At home I am married to my wife of 21 years; Lisa who is a school teacher. We have two grown up ‘children’ Jessica & Zach. In my spare time I play golf, and try to get to the gym two or three times a week. Other than that, I love to watch live sports, travel and ski. All said and done, I know I’ve earned that glass of chilled wine when I get to the sofa!
