I have spent 29 happy and eventful years at Oliver Jaques and have enjoyed building a fantastic rapport with our clients, some of whom still entrust us with their property portfolios 20 years on. Having grown up locally living in Bermondsey and attending Aylwin Girls' School, I have a unique insight into the needs of the people moving into the area, and I am one of the few Directors in the industry who can be can be found every day working closely with the staff, striving for the business to continually grow and exceed expectations. I enjoy giving back to my community and hope to continue to be able to do so for many years to come.
