I am proud to have eleven years of service with Chancellors, and for the last six of those years, I have been the Lettings Manager covering Bracknell, Warfield and Binfield. I have been working in this sector for seventeen years and am a member of the Association of Residential Letting Agents (MARLA).
I am married with two grown-up sons and live in Bracknell. When I am not letting houses, I am a musician and I play guitar for a number of educational and charitable organisations whenever I get the opportunity. I consider myself very fortunate to have a role I enjoy, in particular, I am inspired by the diversity in our business, and, by working for an innovative market-leading organisation.

Senior Sales Negotiator
Newbury
DDI:01635 635467
I started working for Chancellors in October 2020 in our Newbury branch as a Sales Negotiator, where I proceeded to gain valuable knowledge on the busy housing market within Newbury. Later In the following year, I moved over to our branch in Thatcham where I was promoted to Senior Sales Negotiator and tested even further on property knowledge in an area I was not too familiar with - This turned out extremely beneficial for me as it gave me the upper hand in two areas very close to each other, but also with very different markets.
As of March 2022, I have been working in our Newbury branch where I continue to grow my knowledge of the local property market. I have always worked in customer-orientated roles so ensuring that people leave with a smile after they have dealt with me is a must.
Newbury is a town of contrasts, where historic charm blends with modern industries and lively attractions. It remained something of a well-kept secret before the arrival of Vodafone and other leading tech firms, but has since been transformed into a mecca for both young professionals and families. Fortunately, this popularity hasn’t spoiled the surrounding countryside, while its character as a market town remains intact.
Period architecture lines the high street, which is home to an impressive selection of shops. Aside from the independent retailers, a bi-weekly farmers market showcases local produce. At the two shopping centres, all of the major high street names can be found, while the nearby retail park offers similar appeal.
Newbury’s entertainment scene rivals that of a large city. A tempting choice of restaurants are situated in the market place, and laidback bars cater for the night owl. The nearby Vue Cinema is a family favourite, and two local theatres host a variety of stage and art productions.
The outdoor spaces and sporting facilities are just as impressive. Victoria Park is popular with the locals – a scenic expanse complete with a lake, tennis courts and a children’s play area. From here, many residents take a leisurely stroll beside the Kennet and Avon Canal, stopping at quaint pubs along the way. For the sports fanatic, Northcroft Leisure Centre is guaranteed to impress, not to mention the area’s golf courses and Newbury Racecourse.
These local treasures, coupled with the top-performing schools and convenient transport links, continue to attract a diverse population to Newbury.
Transportation in Newbury
Part of Newbury’s appeal lies in the excellent transport links, which make for an easy commute. The direct service to London Paddington takes 51 minutes, with three trains per hour during peak times. Other local areas are served, including Reading with a journey time of 19 minutes, while Great Bedwyn can be reached in 21 minutes.
Those travelling by car enjoy similar convenience thanks to Newbury’s proximity to the M4. Situated only four miles away, it offers quick access to the M25, linking to outer London and Heathrow Airport in under 50 minutes. The nearby A34 also connects to Oxford in the north and the M3 in the south.

Newbury is a town with plentiful places of cultural interest as well as thriving local arts communities. Some of the major cultural landmarks in Newbury include Donnington Castle, a ruined medieval castle built in 1386 and the West Berkshire Museum, which holds a variety of artworks and collections related to Newbury.
Highclere Castle is another favourite spot in the Newbury area, where the real Downton Abbey can be visited in all its splendour as a Grade I country house. Newbury Racecourse is one of the most famous horseracing venues in the country, hosting horseracing events throughout the year.
Newbury is home to several square miles of nature reserves and other fabulous green spaces. Around three miles away in Thatcham, The Living Rainforest, is particularly noteworthy. It is an indoor ecological centre consisting of three glasshouses which each have flora and fauna representative of tropical rainforest.
The Corn Exchange is one of the major arts centres in Berkshire, hosting a variety of events including opera and theatre, and the Watermill Theatre hosts many West End and Broadway productions.

From royal hunting grounds to the UK’s answer to Silicon Valley, Newbury boasts a rich and varied history. Although evidence of a Mesolithic settlement has been found in the area, it wasn’t until the 11th century that Newbury was founded. A castle was thought to exist here and the town frequently hosted royalty, including King John and Henry III. As a rural outpost, it was better-known for its hunting grounds than its bustling town amenities.
A burgeoning cloth trade in the 16th century brought development, but was later overtaken by a thriving tourism industry. As the half-way point between London and Bath, many visitors stopped en route to relax at the inns. This coaching trade would decline following the opening of the Great Western Railway, and Newbury transitioned back to a sleepy market town with an agriculture-based economy.
That all changed in the 1980s when Vodafone chose to locate its headquarters here. Other high-tech companies followed and the town still enjoys the prosperity of those industries.
