Inside Story

I joined Alexander Hall in October 2001 as a Mortgage Adviser having previously worked as a Financial Adviser for a well known high street bank for two years. Although I had no mortgage experience I had completed the CeMAP exam and had Cefa 1, 2 & 3. Previous to working in financial services I held management roles in large retail companies.

What attracted me to Alexander Hall was the energy of the company as well as the people who worked for it. I also liked the fact that they work alongside Foxtons which meant you had a constant supply of business. I worked as a Mortgage Adviser in our Mayfair office until January 2003 when I applied for the position of Deputy Sales Manager at our new Lombard Street office and moved across in February. With my previous management experience I found a role I could really develop and was thrilled with being instrumental in building a new sales team at Lombard Street, and starting a new chapter for Alexander Hall. I was actively involved in growing the team from 12 advisers to 35 and helping those advisers achieve their sales targets and competent adviser status. I was also involved in developing the induction course for the new starters at Alexander Hall as well as the training and coaching they received following successful completion of the course.

In August 2004 I was promoted again to Sales Manager of a team of advisers who look after Foxtons offices in North and Central London. My team has just completed its first quarter and we have been successful for written and on risk business. I love the fact that the team and its development are solely my responsibility and that three of my team, with my help, are Associate Directors. I have hit all my trip targets and been to dinner at Quaglino's & Pacific Oriental, to name a few, celebrating with a Foxtons' office who had won an Alexander Hall dinner incentive!
