About

I am a qualified and experienced property professional and developer. As an entrepreneur and property specialist, I founded Lumiere Property in January 2010, and run the company full time. I enjoy realising opportunities from property and continue to build my experience with complicated and difficult projects, finding opportunity where others have not. My business is built on partnership and collaboration, as I believe that by having the right people around you we will grow and thrive as a company. My goal is to create a successful business surrounded by an excellent network of professionals to aid in all aspects of our business, from search and acquisitions, through to design, build and disposals. On a more personal level, I am married in a family of six, I am a keen sportsman including a veteran Channel Rower.
