Chancellors operate in the following postcode areas of Bracknell: RG12, RG42 and RG45.
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 joined Chancellors in September 2019 as an apprentice with the Client Services Team and finished with a Level 3 Diploma in Customer Service. I then progressed onto the Bracknell Lettings team as a Negotiator in 2021 where I have now achieved the role of Senior Negotiator with the help and support of our fantastic team.
I have always enjoyed helping those around me and volunteered in a lot of similar roles growing up, so being able to help people with the stressful task of moving is extremely rewarding to me. When I am not letting houses, I enjoy socialising with friends and travelling to new countries to explore the culture and beautiful scenery. I am excited to continue my journey with Chancellors watching myself and the business adapt and grow.
In the wake of World War II, Bracknell underwent a transformation and became one of London’s surrounding new towns. Before this time, Bracknell was little more than a sleepy village in the heart of Berkshire woodland.
Although it’s hard to imagine now, signs of its former past are always present. Large neighbourhoods and housing developments are never too far from rural greenery. The new town was designed to reflect its country village past, with expansive open spaces and public parks. It provides the convenience of urban living with the outdoor lifestyle found in more remote areas of the south-east.

Surrounded by Bracknell Forest, the town offers plenty of opportunities for a scenic stroll and other outdoor leisure activities. In the burgeoning town centre, ongoing regeneration projects deliver impressive attractions such as The Lexicon shopping centre.

History of Bracknell
Although most commonly known as a post-World War II New Town, Bracknell’s history actually dates back thousands of years. While visitors can still explore the sight of a Bronze Age burial mound at Bill Hill, it wasn’t until the 14th century that Bracknell gained prominence as a Royal hangout. During this time, a hunting lodge was built at Easthampstead Park for King Edward III. This also happened to house the banished Catherine of Aragon following her divorce from Henry VIII.
During the Victorian era, Bracknell transitioned into a fully-fledged county town complete with local shopkeepers and a weekly cattle market. Victorian brickyards were also established with the famed Thomas Lawrence & Sons producing bricks for Westminster Cathedral and the Albert Hall.
Bracknell town underwent its most notable development after the housing crisis of the Second World War. Staying true to its county town origins, new neighbourhoods were designed with local community areas and green, open spaces. Although a business park and modern industries now flourish, Bracknell still retains the rural charm of its past.
