Property and land specialists

James has been immersed in the property industry from an early age. The company was originally founded by his father in 1991, and James has been actively involved ever since. He is a Member of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), a Fellow of the National Association of Estate Agents (NAEA), and an Associate of the Association of Residential Letting Agents (ARLA). James is also a well-regarded auctioneer, holding Fellowship status with the National Association of Valuers and Auctioneers (NAVA). He has made several appearances on the popular BBC television programme Homes Under the Hammer. Outside of work, James is a keen sailor, an enthusiastic (if not especially skilled) golfer, and an avid follower of sport—particularly cricket and rugby. He is married with two teenage daughters and a dachshund.

Sally loves being creative – baking for the office – treats are always welcome! In her spare time, she enjoys dressmaking, creating multi-media creations, watching rugby and local live music. Sally has worked for James for several years and likes the variety the job offers.

Sunny writes the odd poem, loves the theatre, and keeps fit to maintain the illusion of balance. Most of her time is spent socialising with family and friends (preferably with a glass of Prosecco in hand). She holds a completely random qualification in diamond grading; she also has an HR degree and a background in security. Both of which come in handy far more often than anyone would expect in property management.

Amanda has worked in various roles in the property industry for over 15 years. She loves the fast paced, ever-changing face of Lettings, and really can’t imagine doing anything else! When not working, you’ll find her pottering around in the vegetable patch or out with her completely mad Patterdale Terrier, tramping over hill and dale. An extended afternoon hike followed by a cold glass of cider in a country pub beer garden is her idea of a perfect Sunday.

Chloe has worked in the property industry for almost five years in a variety of roles. Having obtained her Propertymark MARLA qualification in 2023, Chloe is dedicated to ensuring she remains regulated to the highest industry standard. Chloe is passionate about marine biology and conservation and is a qualified BSAC Ocean Diver. She loves traveling to new places and spending time in nature — whether tending to her garden, pottering around in the Cotswolds, or packing up the surfboard and returning to her roots in Cornwall where she grew up.

Donna has 25 years of Property Management experience. She loves the fact that no two days are the same and that each day presents new opportunities and challenges. She enjoys building positive relationships with landlords and tenants and takes pride in delivering a job well done. In her spare time, she loves cycling, going away in her motor home and being outdoors in nature.

Miriam is a working mum who loves balancing her career with family time. When she’s not in the office, you’ll find her spending with her son, hitting the shops, or enjoying a meal out with friends. Miriam believes in making the most of life and bringing that positive energy into everything she does.

Queen of treasure hunting in charity shops and antique centres. Loves travelling and exploring new places, previously lived in The Netherlands and Spain. When not at work she is most likely to be found in The Cotswolds, Suffolk, or France in search of good food and wine!

Ali has been involved in Estate Agency in one way or another since she was born, she is honoured to be managing an office for the company her Father started so many years ago. Her main love is all things sea related. She has sailed across the Atlantic on a tall ship which is where she discovered her great fear of heights! She really enjoys travel, theatre, music and her dogs.

Rory is approaching his 12th year at Hawkesford and manages the Leamington spa sales team. Rory enjoys all aspects of his role from winning instructions to preparing the marketing for our clients as well as managing the team itself. Outside of work he is a huge Sheffield Wednesday fan and has a season ticket for his sins. If he is not at Hillsborough then he is usually playing tennis locally or going to the gym.

Jo has been involved one way or the other with Hawkesford for over 10 years, Jo has now developed a passion for all things property related. She has been involved in several renovations over the years, for Jo there nothing better than buying a run down or dated property and giving it a new lease of life. This certainly helps with her job as it gives buyers ideas what they can do with a place they are interested in. Being brought up in the countryside she has a keen interest in all thing’s nature. Everything from watching wildlife and birds, planting plants and flowers to encourage butterflies and bees, to picking up litter that she comes across when I’m out walking her dogs. Another passion of Jo’s is sea fishing (somewhat limited living in the Midlands!!) Again, you see some lovely things, and it’s great for getting some head space. Other things Jo’s interested in are sport (especially football), anything Harry Potter related, art and photography.

Kimberly enjoys helping her clients find their dream home and is passionate about providing an excellent customer experience for a smooth sale. Kimberly fills her spare time with community and charity work, she loves to travel, explore hidden gems and attend craft workshops.
