I originally had aspirations as a Graphic Designer, however, I soon realised I wanted more interaction with people. In 1999 I entered into the world of Estate Agency. Over the next 6 years I gained experience working for local independent & corporate companies and in 2005 I decided enough was enough. I became increasingly disillusioned with the industry so tried something new – recruitment. Let’s just say it didn’t work out. Clarity soon hit home that I was in fact an ‘Estate Agent’. However this time I was determined to do it my way. Finally being able to put my design skills to good use, I set about creating the branding for ‘Edwards’. In January 2007 ‘Edwards’ was opened, about 6 months before the recession. Successfully running and expanding ‘Edwards’ in this challenging time has been a huge learning curve.
Utilising all of the experience I have gained over the last 9 years including successfully buying and selling development properties along with managing a buy-to-let portfolio has put me in a perfect position to advise others. My passion is property it’s in my blood.
I live in Stratford-upon-Avon with my wife and our beautiful 4 year old daughter Millie, who bosses me around.. constantly! I am a keen golfer and enjoy playing courses all over the county. I also spend a lot of time dreaming up reasons why I shouldn’t go on the treadmill!

I was born and grew up in Warwickshire. I read Modern Languages at university and having a genuine love of travel it was only natural that I would find employment in Travel and Tourism. I was a Tour Manager for a Swiss company for eighteen years, escorting tours all over Europe. Dealing with large groups of people 24/7 for periods of two to five weeks at a time provided ample opportunity to enhance my skills of diplomacy, negotiation and communication.
Ready to take a new direction after a career break to raise my children, I took the opportunity to join an estate agent based in the North Cotswolds. Although my wings had been clipped, I soon realised that the skills I had learned in my previous career stood me in good stead in my new one.
I live near Bidford-on-Avon with my husband and our two wonderful teenage daughters. In my free time I enjoy going to the gym, travelling, and unwinding with a good book and a glass of wine (though not necessarily in that order!)
