I have been in the industry for 20 years working for several of Bradford’s local estate agents until opening my own agency in 2012. I am a member of both NAEA and ARLA along with sitting on the executive committee of the Bradford & District Estate Agents Association, having been President in 2018 and re-elected in 2019. Happily married with 4 children, keen golfer and enjoy family breaks in our caravan and holidaying abroad.
I have worked in the industry now for 14 years, previously at another local family business. My passion is lettings, I thrive on how fast paced the market is. Having to keep up to date and learn the many constant changes in legislation certainly keeps me on my toes. Outside of work I enjoy taking long walks and eating out at different restaurants.
Shipley is located to the north of Bradford and has much to offer to the residents as well as the tourists it attracts every year. These attractions include the Victorian village of Saltaire, built by Sir Titus Salt to house the workers of his alpaca and wool business, the contemporary gallery dedicated to Bradford born David Hockney and Roberts park on the banks of the River Aire, leading to the oldest working cable tramway, which gives access to Shipley Glen. Beautiful canal barges can be seen moored as you stroll along the canal towpath. Saltaire is a UNESCO world heritage site and a huge draw for visitors.
