I have been working for Chancellors since 2003 having joined the Graduate Training Programme after university moving from Scotland to Oxford.
Having worked across Oxfordshire learning the role of Lettings Manager, I then moved to look after our West Berkshire Region and I am now responsible for South Oxfordshire, Berkshire, and Hampshire as Group Associate Director.
In my spare time, I'm a self-confessed sports addict both playing and watching.
I have worked for Chancellors since June 2022, and have been building my industry experience since 2015. I worked in Reading, Winchester, and Thatcham prior to working in my hometown of Basingstoke. Having lived in the town for over 30 years, I believe I am best placed to provide the best insight into the town and enable myself and my team to provide the highest level of customer service.

I started working for Chancellors in November 2022, and with property being a passion, I fell in love with starting my career as a Lettings Negotiator in Richmond. With a fast-paced rental market, it has allowed me to strive to work closely with landlords and tenants to ensure they are provided the best service.
My biggest goal in my role is to help my clients achieve the highest rental figure for their properties and help my tenants move into their dream homes.
The historic market town of Wokingham sits in the heart of Berkshire, only 33 miles from central London and a short distance south-east of Reading. It’s an area full of character, where historic architecture is met with scenic woodlands and picturesque villages. Coupled with the excellent transport links and local attractions, Wokingham is highly sought-after amongst families and those commuting to the capital.
Wokingham, a market town
For such an impressive town, the community atmosphere is more akin to a small village. This is partly thanks to the several general markets which take place throughout the week, as well as the independent businesses which showcase local produce on the High Street. The town is still home to all the major retailers, while entertainment and sports complexes could rival those of a large city.
Transportation in Wokingham
Wokingham is popular as a commuting destination for those travelling to both London and the many large industries located on the ‘silicon corridor’ of the M4. This motorway is easily reached, while the M3 is only a short distance south of the town. Thanks to these major transport links, Wokingham is only 55 minutes away from London via car, and 26 minutes to Heathrow International Airport.
The local train station is just as convenient for a speedy commute. Trains depart along the Waterloo to Reading line, reaching the capital in 50 minutes and Reading in 21 minutes. Frequent services also travel direct to Gatwick Airport, which is reached in approximately 79 minutes.
Things to Do in Wokingham
Few towns in the south boast such a wide array of local amenities. As such, it’s no surprise that Wokingham has been voted among the best places in the UK to raise a family. From sports clubs and country parks to luxury spas and an indoor ski slope, here are some of the highlights:
Dinton Pastures Country Park
Nirvana Spa
Showcase Cinemas
Skiplex Indoor Ski Slopes
Wokingham Superbowl
Big Apple Wokingham
Oakwood Youth Challenge
