Tom has worked within Estate Agency for almost 15 years, selling village, rural and beautiful homes all across Lancashire. My role is to oversee and ensure the South Lancashire office is running smoothly and providing all our clients with the highest possible service, alongside providing Market Appraisals on a variety of homes for clients and devising a marketing strategy to suit their needs and requirements.

In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my family, I had twin girls in 2024 (Charlotte & Freya) who keep me very busy when I am not in work!  When my schedule allows I love to watch football, having a season ticket at Preston North End and am a keen tennis player.

I grew up on a farm in North Staffordshire and am very proud of my rural roots. I have worked within the property industry for over 25 years, in agricultural, commercial and residential practices. I moved to Lancashire in 2004 and now live in a village near Garstang with my husband, two children and dog. I joined Armitstead Barnett in 2016 and love being part of such an amazing team.

My role as Lettings Manager means that no two days are ever the same, which I love. Carrying out market appraisals on such a wide variety of property, meeting Landlords and giving them the most up to date advice on compliance and legislation gives me a huge sense of satisfaction. My role also includes vetting tenants, organising the move in process and preparing the tenancy documentation. Handing over keys to a new tenants is such a highlight of my job. My role also includes property management and staying up to date with the fast and ever changing legislation involved in the Private Rented Sector.

I have worked in property for some time now and whilst I have seen my fair share of houses, it is always the quirky and unusual ones that truly capture my attention. As a keen lover of the outdoors, I’ve always felt a strong connection to properties within the village and rural specialism that AB represent – countryside homes with land and gardens, the converted barns and development plots.

My role sees me based within the South Lancashire office in Burscough and I am often the first point of contact for clients and customers in all aspects of the business, be it vendors, buyers, landlords or prospective tenants. Whilst no working day is generally the same, I take joy from seeing a property though from introduction to end – from the very first phone call and introduction all the way through to key handover day.

I have been working within the property industry for 23 years in various sectors and it’s nice to of joined the team at Armitstead Barnett.

I moved from a little town in Wigan to Burscough three years ago and can say that I am enjoying the semi-rural lifestyle it’s also nice to be able to walk through the village to work such a beautiful place and a lovely community to be in.

My role as Property Advisor is meeting new and existing clients whether their looking for their forever home or selling, arranging viewings, negotiating sales, and making sure our customers move goes as smoothly as possible.
