I started working in the industry because I had a big interest in the property market, I felt that lettings would be an ideal career change for me.

Everyday is a different challenge, I work with a great bunch of people and the time flies by because we are always busy.

My main interest is music and I'm heavily into anything involving rock music.

Working at Miles & Barr is a true honor, aside from being market leaders in pretty much every town we operate in, the culture that has been created throughout the company is fantastic. The directors provide first class training which is essential to making sure you provide top quality service.

I joined the company as a trainee negotiator and quickly progressed to a branch manager position. I work with an amazing group of people everyday and enjoy my day from start to finish. No day is the same in estate agency as you are visiting different homes every single day... you get some great ideas for your own home too! 

Living in East Kent means I'm spoilt for nice coastal and countryside walks with the dog, along with this my interests are football and long weekend city breaks.

Having worked as a Learning & Development and People Management professional for over 20 years across differing sectors I chose to work for Miles & Barr to continue in a role that can make a positive impact to employees company-wide. 

I am passionate about developing others and encouraging people to challenge themselves to meet their full potential in their careers. I love to see others grow and achieve their goals and aspirations. I truly believe it’s the people that are at the heart of any successful organisation, and being a People and Development manager, really ticks all the boxes for me. 

I love working for Miles and Barr, having the opportunity to bring my knowledge and experience to the business and to contribute to the achievement of our People strategy, “Valuing People Not Just Property” really does excite me. 

Outside of work, I am kept very busy with my two daughters, husband and our dog, Tess.

I began my career in the industry in 1982, straight off the back of finishing my A-levels. I saw a job as a trainee negotiator/surveyor and haven't looked back since landing the role. I first met with Christian Miles and Stuart Barr in the late 80s, while working for independent agents. I've had a number of roles in my career, from area to regional management in East Kent and I also spent ten years working around Chislehurst, with properties up to the £5m bracket.

Having always had a close relationship with Christian and Stuart, I decided to get on board with Miles & Barr when they invited me to set up from scratch the bespoke department, Exclusive Homes, in 2013. We now have a portfolio of around 100 properties and year on year our performance levels have increased dramatically.

I'm responsible for marketing properties from around the £500,000 mark upwards. We cover all of the Miles & Barr offices, with an Exclusive Homes representative in each of them. I oversee the representatives and coordinate the team. One of my main roles within the department is to value and market our exclusive properties.

I like that fact that Miles & Barr directors are hands on with the business. It is a dynamic company which has the ability to adjust to any market changes and are market leaders in the towns we operate in.

I love spending time with my family when possible, my children are grown up and my son works in real estate in America, so we all like to get together out there. We enjoy holidays together too. Any other spare time I get is spent playing golf. I enjoy being in and around our local towns and having vast experience in East Kent makes that even more enjoyable. Our towns on the whole has become a catchment area for out of town buyers, notably those from London.

I chose to work in the industry as I was looking for a new challenge. Working for Miles & Barr suits me as they are so professional.

In my time outside of work I enjoy spending time with my family.

Having been in the industry since 2006, I searched for a professional and progressive career local to my hometown of Broadstairs.

For me there are a plethora of likes working for Miles & Barr however, above all of those is how approachable and down to earth the directors are. I don't think you can find that too often in modern day companies.

If you had asked me what I did in my spare time three years ago I would have said football coupled with golf and time in the local gym. Fastforward to now and I have an exciting young family and I spend the majority of my time with my wife Rhea and son Cody alongside football at the weekends.

I've been in the industry for over five years now. I was attracted to it by an all-round interest in property and from having friends in the industry, within Miles & Barr, knowing the great career progression opportunities that are available.

I like working for Miles & Barr as we are an ambitious company that sets its target to be the number one agent in the areas we operate in. We are a forward thinking and proactive company, which enables us to reach that target. I also like the fact that we are of a size where you know everyone and with a lot time invested in the staff, a real team spirit is created with everyone pulling in the same direction.

My hobbies and interests are mostly sporting, enjoying playing football and cricket and watching any sport I can. I also enjoy spending time with my family, which keeps me pretty busy, looking after our children. I have recently discovered the joy of road cycling and have been to France to compete in a ride up the much feared Mont Ventoux in the Alps. Finally, I am looking forward to starting to travel again as our children get older and where the opportunity allows.

I've been working as an estate agent since I left university and have never looked back!

I love the strategic awareness of Miles & Barr which closely analyses the market and adjusts to the constant changes. The humble viewpoint we promote to our staff along with the constant training to improve ourselves makes this a lovely place to work.

All my spare time is spent with my kids! If I get the chance I enjoy a round of golf and playing the guitar.

I started working in estate agency back in 2005 when I joined Miles & Barr as a trainee. At the time I had a few friends already in the industry who I had spoken to and the discussed what the role entailed and recommended I give it a go. Initially, I didn't see myself doing this for the rest of my life, I felt it more of a stop gap but I was really enjoying it after just a few weeks in the job.

I like the fact that I work for the market leading agent in the area. As a company they always like to promote from within wherever possible, three of the current directors started off as trainee negotiators at Miles & Barr, which is great to see for new staff who are looking to join. The company also really looks after the staff, running competitions with prizes ranging from vouchers, city breaks or even a trip to Orlando.

I have a young family, so when time allows you may find me on the golf course or watching my beloved Manchester United. I also love to spend time in The New Forest with my family and dogs, we usually get there a couple of times a year.

“I wanted to start working in the industry as my dad does some property developing in his spare time, so I grew up around properties and wanted to be in an industry where every day would be different.

There are many things I enjoy about working for Miles & Barr but I have to say that the real stand-out thing for me is that although the company is getting bigger, you are not just a number on the payroll, the directors and owners of the company are very friendly and approachable.

In my spare time I enjoy going to the gym and spending time with my friends and family.”

Scott Roberts

Agent

I wanted to work with people and had close friends that were already working at Miles & Barr, so the decision was easy. I also liked the idea of not being office bound everyday and getting out and about in the community in a job where everyday is different and hard work can be rewarded.

What I like about working for Miles & Barr is quite simply the culture of the company, it's unique and special. Estate agency was never something I considered as a career until I met the directors and was reassured by their professionalism, sincerity and family values that resonate throughout the company from top to bottom. I am proud to say I work for Miles & Barr.

I'm very active and in my spare time I love watersports – surfing, paddleboarding and swimming. A friend and I raised money for charity by crossing the channel on our paddleboards. I enjoy keeping fit, eating well and spending time with my family and close friends

I was looking for a job that offered progression and a ladder to climb, Miles & Barr gave me exactly that. 

The office has a friendly atmopshere, we always aim to give our clients the best service and are very team based.

I enjoy going to the gym, fitness and nutrition in my spare time. I am a socialable person.
