Meet The Team

Fine & Country Bedford

I have spent the last seven years in the property industry, after my love for houses made me decide to change career. I have worked within the luxury property market, lettings, and have my own portfolio of properties too. Previously, I worked in the retail industry across several roles. These roles included Customer Service Team Leader and Better Service Manager; therefore, I pride myself on exceptional service. Selling a home is more than just selling a building. My clients’ properties have been a large part of their lives, and I strive to make them feel confident that their property is in the best hands. The way in which I accomplish this, is to take a holistic approach to marketing. I will not only showcase and market their home, but the lifestyle and surrounding areas, to help potential buyers fall in love with the whole package. My core objective is to market your home with the best presentation, the biggest exposure, and conduct a professional and exceptional service. When I’m not working, I love spending time with my husband and my two daughters, travelling to new places and experiencing new things.

For over a decade, I've thoroughly enjoyed working in the property sector and have a wealth of knowledge in the Bedfordshire and London areas. I strive to maximise sale prices in the desired time frames, whilst keeping the process smooth and stress free. I achieve this by creating positive rapports, based on trust and care, and combined with my attention to detail, I am confident in producing exceptional results. Each house has special characteristics and its own story, so by instructing me, I would offer a world class bespoke marketing service, tailored to your unique property. At Fine & Country, we utilise all the latest technologies including only working with the best photographers and videographers. With access to a network of over 300 F&C locations across the UK and worldwide, this allows me to maximise the exposure of your property, creating strong buyer competition in order to drive the sale price up to its peak. I live in Bedford and have grown up in the Bedfordshire area. When I am not working, I love spending time with my family and dogs, walking at many great locations, my favourite being Rowney Warren Woods.

I have worked for Mortgage Advice Bureau since 2013, but I have worked in Financial Services since 2011. Based in Derby, I cover both Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire. I enjoy helping people buy their homes and ensuring they have the relevant cover in place should the worst happen. I pride myself on being thoughtful, articulate and helpful. It is important to me that clients understand the need to protect themselves and their homes properly. Outside of work, I enjoy going to the gym, fishing, socialising with friends and spending time with my children.
