NEW MANAGER AT DAVIS TATE HENLEY ON THAMES
A new
manager is at the helm at the Henley on Thames office of Davis Tate. James Donigan
MNAEA, joins the well established team in Henley, a ‘coming home’, as he has previously lived in Middle Assendon and Sonning Common and attended local schools. James began his career in Estate Agency in 2005. Working through the ranks, he was promoted to office manager in Headington, after having previously opened a new office in East Oxford. “I am very excited to be a part of the Henley on Thames office, with a company I have watched grow over the years. My knowledge of the local area will be put to good use and I’m looking forward to becoming a familiar face around town,” said James. David Tate, joint Managing Director for Davis Tate said, “The Henley office has become the flagship office within our network and we look forward to new ideas and leadership from James to continue to build the success of the Henley office.”
EXPANSION MAKES HAUS PROUD
Haus Properties has appointed John Woodward as a property consultant to join its six strong team in
Fulham. John, who has over five years experience in estate agency, most recently at the Chesterton Humberts Chelsea office, will be responsible for both sales and lettings in and around the Fulham area. He comments, “I am delighted to have joined Haus. It’s a very relaxed and creative atmosphere where we are encouraged to dream up ideas to push the business forward and to find ways of better servicing our

clients. It is a breath of fresh air to work here and I’m sure that translates to our clients and customers who have a negative view of traditional ‘agents’. I have always been a little embarrassed to say I was an estate agent but I love telling people I work at Haus!” Haus Properties is a new concept
in estate agency, set up by entrepreneur and former Apprentice candidate, Jamie Lester, with the aim of turning traditional estate agency on its head. The Fulham office opened in
November 2011 and is already proving to be extremely successful, hence the requirement for an additional consultant. An office in Chiswick is set to launch in spring 2012, and there are plans for further London offices.
BRISTOL AGENCY CHIEF TO HEAD PROPERTY LOBBY Bristol estate agent Doug Wood has been appointed President of the Bristol Property Agents
Association (BPAA). Doug, who runs a chain of six
offices across the greater Bristol area, takes over from outgoing president Jayne Rixon of Burston Cook.
Mr Wood launched the Woods
Estate Agency in 1992 and has branches in Clevedon, Portishead, Westbury-On-Trym, Stoke Gifford, Bradley Stoke and Yate. A firm advocate of the BPAA’s brief to build a positive image of Greater Bristol and promote investment into the city, he now plans to grow the association’s membership by consolidating the existing support and attracting more members from the residential sector. He said, “The association’s membership is drawn from a large number of businesses involved in all aspects of commercial and residential property and includes surveyors, solicitors, architects, engineers, developers and
contractors. “I am keen to broaden the association’s appeal and hope through my background and connections to ensure the city’s bustling residential sector achieves the effective representation as our colleagues from the commercial property sector.” The BPAA has more 280 full and
affiliated members and Doug is keen to boost membership to reflect the property sector’s significant contribution to the city’s economy.
CBRE BOOSTS TEAM
CBRE has strengthened its international residential sales and marketing capabilities in the prime London market
with the appointment of Matthew Cobb as Associate Director. Based in CBRE’s London office, Matthew will be responsible for enhancing sales opportunities for clients through the promotion of prime new build schemes in international markets. He will provide the link between the London residential development sales team headed by Charles Leigh, and CBRE’s global network. This will involve working closely with CBRE’s international residential teams, including Darien Bradshaw, Head of International Project Marketing in Singapore. Matthew joins from Currell
Residential where he was Head of New Homes and managed 16 UK residential developments totalling 393 units. His responsibilities included organising international property exhibitions, sourcing land and providing clients with strategic sales and marketing advice. Prior to this, Matthew spent six
years at St James Group, part of The Berkeley Group, working in the land and sales teams. Mark Collins, Head of
Residential, CBRE, said, “Matthew is an exciting rising talent in residential and we are delighted that he is joining CBRE. His experience of marketing new developments overseas will be
financial results. The Midlands-based property
consultancy, which has offices in Nottingham, Derby and Leicester, has promoted the staff across the agency divisions.
Scott Osborne has been made
associate at the Nottingham office and Helen Bowley and Jude Hayward have been made associates in the Derby office. Paul Watson has been made director at the Leicester office dealing with professional matters. Mike Thorne has been promoted to director of building consultancy and Tom Burton made senior building surveyor (both at the Nottingham office). This follows the introduction of building consultancy services less than two years ago. MD Robert Hartley said, “The promotions and appointments over the last financial year reflect the ongoing growth, investment and development we are making to our business. “The last year has continued to be a struggle for the property market, and twelve months ago, we couldn’t have predicted that Derby, Leicester and Nottingham would be able to make any progress, but we have continued to attract new clients and to grow as a business. We are able to provide a wider service offering to our customers and we have healthy financial results to demonstrate our success. We couldn’t have achieved that without the hard work and contribution of the team.”
crucial as we continue to grow the team. International investors still see London residential as a safe haven for their money and will continue to purchase property for buy-to-let portfolios or as family residences.”
