Lisa Gadsby, MARLA

Property Team Manager

Before I joined the company in April 2013 my career path had been somewhat varied – law, recruitment and medical accounting due to moving around with my husband’s employment (including five years abroad) and raising two children. However my passion has always been with property and I was thrilled when the opportunity arose to join an award winning company to fulfil my ambition of working within the property industry.

Smudge

General Dogsbody

My name is Smudge and I have been in the business since 2013. I am by far the cleverer out of the two four legged employees, I’m also the female – I guess there is no coincidence!

Ted

General Dogsbody

My name is Ted, I’m a year younger than Smudge. Everyone says I am a typical boy because all I want to do is to eat, sleep, run and make poo smells. I love making smells the most and can clear an office in less than 2 seconds, it’s such fun!
