I started my career in 2003 as a residential agent in Chorleywood, later joining Christopher Rowland Estate Agents and Savills LLP. In 2008, I moved to Jaggard Baker, followed by a role at Roy Rowland & Co in 2013. In 2015, I co-founded Macland with Steven Macdermott. After the merger of Jaggard Baker and Macland Surveyors in November 2019, I became a Partner at Jaggard Macland, where I now lead the Residential Property Department.
Outside of work, I am an avid sports enthusiast. I enjoy playing golf, skiing and attempting to play football. I am a loyal supporter and season ticket holder of Watford FC, sadly!
