Camden Team

Originally from Manchester, I came to London in 1985 and cut my teeth on the London market on Upper Street in Islington. I joined Hotblack Desiato in 1987 and became a Director in the early 1990’s. I currently head the Sales team in Camden. Even after all these years I still get a buzz from the business, whether gaining an instruction, the cut and thrust of negotiation or successfully concluding a sale. I am married to Marion and have 2 sons. I am a keen golfer and lifelong supporter of Manchester City – a true test of character for anyone, though it has become a little easier in recent years!

Going to Highbury area had been an interesting experience, surprisingly very similar to West Hampstead in that it has that a very local feel, with a group of residents that know the area well and are very invested into it which gives it the special community feel.
After 4 great years in the Highbury Office I moved over to the Camden Office as the new Lettings Manager, thoroughly looking forward to the new role, as a long term Camden resident it will be interesting to finally start working in the area which I have lived I for so long!
After over 10 years working the property industry in North London I still enjoy going out to meet people and helping them on their journey in finding a new home and seeing the interesting range of properties.

I have grown up in Islington my whole life and for as long as I can remember, enjoyed regular trips into Camden, spending time at Camden Lock and The Stables. Now I have my first negotiator role in the area I love, dealing with both lettings and sales. I didn't take the normal route most teenagers would have picked as I skipped University and, at 18, jumped straight into the corporate world. I now find myself at Hotblack Desiato enjoying finding people their new homes whilst being fascinated by the properties I come across. When not at work I enjoy travelling, going out for dinner with friends and, of course, shopping.
