Richard Stubbs (DIRECTOR) was himself brought up in a surveyor's family, trained as a quantity surveyor but didn't like working in the City. Aged 19, he took a negotiator's job in an Ashford Estate Agency and surprised everyone by being rather good at it. In his 'thirties he moved to Virginia Water, became a Christian and got involved in the local church. It was a long time before he decided to start on his own - too busy being a Dad - but in 1989 he took the plunge and immediately found it a real delight to work for himself. He also found a little time for flying, playing contract bridge and golf. Doesn't get enough time off to practice any of them these days. That's because he's dedicated to the business and doesn't like to leave anything unfinished. Next year, perhaps.
Likes Aeroplanes, property and the local community.
Dislikes Brocolli, unlicensed Estate Agents and social networks. Oh, and VAT at 20%...
Frances Stubbs (DIRECTOR) was brought up in Egham and Virginia Water and knows just about everything there is to know about the place. She does the compliance work in the office, quite a few of the viewings, runs the mailing list and the accounts and does much of the progressing. Her main "hobby" is Besom, a charity based in Egham which helps people in crisis by finding furniture and such. So she's part of a top team wherever she goes but she's working full time at the moment with Richard. Frarnie is capable of doing several things at once and is a very good judge of character.... So she's married to Richard.
Likes Horses, cattle and pigs.... and Richard
Dislikes Snakes, philosophical disagreements - and beer.
