Your Davies Property Partners Story

This year marks my 20th year with the business, a journey that has been both fulfilling and inspiring.

I joined the family business in 2004, working alongside my father, and in 2021, my sister and I took over the reins. My entire career has been with Davies Property Partners, and I’m incredibly proud of the reputation we’ve built for providing exceptional service. My consistently professional yet friendly approach along with always being transparent, are at the core of my professional philosophy. I strive to go beyond the expected to deliver better outcomes for our clients. Growing up and being educated locally in Cobham, I have a deep connection to the community and an intimate knowledge of the local property market.

Tell us about you outside of work

I live in Cobham with my wife Amiera, and my daughter, Florence, attends St. Teresa’s in Effingham. I am a director of One Cobham – our local Business Improvement District group which I believe is a good way of giving back to the High Street which has always served me well. I also volunteer for the Princess Alice Hospice and have an elderly community member who I visit weekly, offering neighbourly compassion. Outside of work, I love exploring the outdoors, whether on my bike or on foot. Bike packing and hiking are my favourite ways to experience the beauty of Surrey. I’m also a keen cook, always experimenting with new recipes, and an occasional gamer, which helps me unwind.

Being part of our local community is important to me, and I bring that personal connection and dedication to my work every day. If you’re looking to buy, sell, or let a property, I’d be delighted to help you navigate the process with the expertise and care that Davies Property Partners is known for. Feel free to reach out to me directly for any inquiries or to discuss your property needs. I’m here to ensure you have a personalised and exceptional experience.

Favourite bit of the house

Always the kitchen for me, the opportunity to combine gadgets, cooking, entertaining, and of course, that’s where the drinks are kept!

Fun fact

I’ve got a big “shark-bite” scar across my stomach from a lifesaving operation I had in Turkey when I was just 6 months old. Not fun, but pretty cool, I think.

Your Davies Property Partners Story

I joined Davies Property Partners on Valentine’s Day 2020, it must be love! I started out doing part time freelance work to help out with the client account bookkeeping and then stepped in to the full time Finance Manager role when our Finance Director retired at the end of September. Though you could say that with a father having worked in corporate estate agency for 30 years – and then founding the company in 2002 – that property and estate agency is in my blood! When our father retired in March 2021 my brother Gareth took over the reins of Managing Director and my role was formalised as Finance & Operations Director. It’s an absolute privilege to be in the family firm, having been adjacent to it for so long. We have a great team of people who are utterly client-centric and focussed on achieving the best for our customers, and I treasure working alongside each and every one of them.

I enjoy the wide range of people I deal with in my day-to-day work; my colleagues, our clients and our suppliers. I’m passionate about customer service and for me my customers tend to be my colleagues, I enjoy building relationships with them and giving them the tools they need to thrive.

Tell us about you outside of work

I’m married to Ed, a New Zealander who is sports mad with a specific focus on cricket. We met when we both worked in the music industry so – when we can – we spend our free time at gigs and sports events. I leave the 5-day test matches to him but am partial to a bit of Twenty20 if the sun’s out and the bar is open! I’m lucky to be very close with my family and see them as much as possible – in and outside of work. Ed and I don’t have children ourselves but I’m a dedicated auntie. We’re social people and enjoy entertaining…and being entertained.

Favourite bit of the house

I’m a total neat freak and get a lot of satisfaction from keeping a nice home. I dream about utility rooms, pantries/larders and a neatly organised airing/linen cupboard.

Fun fact

As a child I was lucky enough to be introduced to Ringo Starr, he was introduced as the man that read Thomas the Tank Engine. On reflection that wouldn’t be the first thing I used to describe him/his career.

Favourite

Ooof, hard question, my music taste is pretty eclectic/random and depends on my mood, the weather, the day of the week etc. I really like an American band called Clutch who do a bluesy rock, I hugely enjoyed the britpop/Cool Britannia era in the 90s and I love a bit of Motown.

Your Davies Property Partners Story

I’ve been with Davies Property Partners since March 2018, albeit it feels like I’ve always been here. I started my career in agency in 2007, all of which has been based in Elmbridge. My passion for property started at a young age, and I would often work in construction between school terms. I consider myself very fortunate to be working in an area with some wonderful homes. These homes are often made wonderful by the people and families living in them. Property is such an exciting industry, but is one which often comes with its stresses. Whether you’re dealing with someone’s first purchase, upsizing, downsizing or simply changing areas. Every transaction is of the greatest importance and needs the right care, skill, knowhow and above all experience. It’s a wonderful feeling to help achieve the best result for our clients or advise those buying. I feel flattered every time someone comes to me for my advice or opinion. I am always here to help!

Tell us about you outside of work

I am very much a family man and love to spend my time with my wife and daughter. We are a very active family, possibly a little too active, and we love to brunch with friends and family! Hotspots for us are Hampton Court and Polesden Lacey.

Favourite bit of the house

My favourite aspect of a property has got to be the hub of the house, the kitchen. This area often finds itself being the most social, whether you’re catching up with the family after a long day in the office, or hosting a get together with family and/or friends.

Fun fact

Gardening has become a hobby of mine and I am enjoying creating my own grand design garden. Not that I think it will be winning any Chelsea awards anytime soon.

Your Davies Property Partners Story

I have worked in the lettings industry for over 10 years now, having started out as a viewing assistant whilst at university, which is where I developed a real passion for matching the right home to my customers. Having worked in Elmbridge for a few years and being brought up, attended Esher College and living locally, I know the South West London and Elmbridge markets really well.

Tell us about you outside of work

I really like going for long walks and discovering new routes. I particularly love the changing of the seasons. I also really like meeting up and having good quality time with friends and family.

Favourite bit of the house

My favourite part of the house is the sitting room. I really love lighting all my candles and making it really cosy for the colder seasons.

Your Davies Property Partners Story

I’ve been with Davies Property Partners since July 2023 and have felt right at home from day one. I’ve worked in the housing and rental business since 2010 and in that time, I’ve had to wear many different hats and found that no two days are the same. I’ve been specifically in property management and lettings since 2018 and would class myself as a passionate people person. I’m always keen to build strong relationships with everyone I have the pleasure of working with and love leaving a positive lasting impression.

Tell us about you outside of work

I’ve fairly recently become a dad, so spending time with my little one and my wife outside of work is always high on the agenda. With a hyperactive dog thrown into the mix it makes for an eventful day when at the park. I’ve never feared puddles so much!

Favourite bit of the house

For me, it really depends on the style of the house. I do like an open plan kitchen/diner which tends to transform into the heart and hub of a home. However, with that being said, I love nothing more than a nice cozy sitting room/snug with a thick fluffy shag style carpet, lots of blankets and a roaring fire on the go. With a good film or decent game of football on the TV, this wins all day long.

Fun fact

I’d like to think I’m a fairly good singer, certainly love a good karaoke night. Ben E. King – Stand by Me is my go-to. I once recorded an album at a professional recording studio, but I was clearly destined to be in property management rather than headlining at Glasto.

Your Davies Property Partners Story

I joined the lettings team at Davies Property Partners at the beginning of 2019, coming from six years in estate agency sales. Before that, I was a full-time mum, primary school teacher, colour psychologist, network marketer and I worked in an art gallery! It took me quite a while to decide on estate agency, but it was the natural choice for my experience and strengths, and I LOVE to be an integral part of the cycle of moving people into homes.

Tell us about you outside of work

Basically, I’m into organising things and creative pursuits. I’m happy spending an afternoon tidying, arranging or decorating something. COLOUR is a massive passion and I’m guilty of being just a bit of a bore on the subject if anyone shows an interest… Like most people, spending time with family is my absolute favourite pastime, and enjoying Flora and Hamish, my gorgeous grandchildren.

Favourite bit of the house

I love a cosy fireplace in use, a really luxurious, warm bathroom and a house that feels light and loved … nearly mentioned harmonious colours there… oops!

Favourite

.. painting is Edward Hopper’s Gas .. I wonder if it’s got something to do with my grandfather owning a petrol station, well, two petrol pumps to be honest… film is Moulin Rouge and I especially love the Roxanne Tango!

…. music is hard to choose but Summer Breeze by the Isley Brothers is always in a favourite playlist, although Real Love by Drizabone would be the runner up

.. book is Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte

Your Davies Property Partners Story

I first stepped inside the Cobham office at Davies Property Partners when my wife and I were strolling along the high street and we’d seen a beautiful house in the window and decided to ask for a brochure. At the time I thought how lovely the people were and how welcoming the office seemed. A few months later I was approached by a recruiter and there was an opening. I thought, ‘this is fate’. I started in December 2023 and have enjoyed every moment so far.

As a former actor I still very much enjoy the theatre and film, so we take multiple trips to the West End and the Everyman cinema in Esher. I occasionally dabble in the local amateur societies too, if I get a particular urge to perform again!

Your Davies Property Partners Story

I joined the business early in 2025, after over two decades working in the property industry in various roles. I have known Gareth (Davies) for many years and I feel working for an independent and family run business is exactly where I want to be working having just turned 50 in January and having reached a point where it’s the ethos of the business and the company that I’m keeping that really matter, providing a level of service rarely seen in the industry as a whole. Being a part of Davies is like being a part of the family, both working with them and becoming a client.

3 Fun facts

I play golf, pretty badly, at Foxhills in Ottershaw. I survived brain surgery and lived to tell the tale. I have run a record label for 25 years releasing instrumental music alongside a successful career in property.
