She is someone that I was very keen to get on the podcast as I knew how much value she would add, and trust me when I say you will not be disappointed.

Today's guest started his career in estate agency in 2004, swiftly climbing from junior negotiator to leading the Worcester office within three years of working for his former employer.

Undaunted by the 2007/8 banking crash, he founded Nicol & Co in 2009, successfully navigating its growth during the market’s recovery, starting out as a one-man band in Droitwich.

With two decades of property expertise, he has not only shaped the Nicol & Co brand in Droitwich, Worcester and Malvern but has also cultivated an award-winning team.

Nicol & Co were named Sales Agency of the Year 2024 in the Best Estate Agent Guide.

This is a great opportunity to listen and learn from someone who is right at the top of their game and one of the very best agents in the country.

Today's guest is the Managing Director of Hat & Home and Co-Founder of Milliner Financial Services.

He has over a dozen years of experience in the estate agency sector and has bags of experience that he kindly shares in this conversation.

There is so much value to be taken from this conversation from someone who is very much walking the walk and leading from the front by steering the ship of an award wining and growing multi-branch independent business.

His mission is to make quality strategic marketing and practical advice accessible to every business, whether they need a virtual CMO, a one-to-one mentor, or a marketing trainer.

Today's guest is Founder, Tea boy and Director of Leslie & Co.



In June of 2020, he had a ‘Jerry Maguire’ moment and decided it was about fewer clients and more personal attention, so started his own business powered by Keller Williams.



He is also a member of The FIA & The Ethical Agent Network as well as mastermind groups and attending the EA directors dinner.



Although being a Chelsea fan (don't hold that agains him) he is one of the good guys and nicest blokes within this industry, which is a better place with him in it.



Leslie & Co has grown to be a great business over the past years and no doubt will continue to do amazing things.



If you want to learn from someone who has shown that things can be done a different way, this is definitely a conversation you don' want to miss.
