How long have you worked at Boothroyd:
Since 2017.

What do you like most about Kenilworth:

The schools , especially the new Kenilworth Schol ( my old school !) which is leading the way in the UK as one of the biggest and in the top 30 comprehensive schools. I have been and its amazing ! We should be very proud. I also like the restaurants and pubs in old town and main street. It is a great town for children to grow up in , as did both of my boys who took part in all the local teams and groups such as scouts , football , rugby and local theatre.

What is your favourite period of property:

My favourite properties are a mixture of old and new. I love a house that you can tell has been a lovely family home for many years . Equally , I like a new , tidy modern look .

If you could live anywhere (except Kenilworth) where would it be:

I am born and bred here & I have no plans to ever leave Kenilworth , especially now that I live in the town centre with easy access to shops , pubs , restaurants and work.

What is your favourite property you have ever dealt with:

Crackley Hill – Grandmother’s house. Lovely memories and pleased to pass on to a young family to let history repeat itself.

Where is your favourite place for a day out in Warwickshire:

A great day out for me would be a trip to London with “The Girls”. Prosecco and pastries on the train down , lunch and people watching in Covent Garden followed by watching a musical in the West End and then cocktails after before coming home.

An interesting fact about you:

I sing with Kenilworth Pop Voices Choir and absolutely love it ! We, about 40 of us , rehearse once a week and perform at many local events . We can be seen soon performing  at the local  Christmas Market , Warwick Castle Lights Switch on and at St Davids Cathedral Pembrokeshire.

Once a year we perform at Birmingham Town Hall with all 300 of us from Pop Voices locally , this year we sang a range of 20 songs such as Proud , Bridge Over Trouble Water , Show Must Go On , Viva La Vida & Mr Blue Sky  to name but a few !  A highlight for me this year was singing in New York , Carnigue Hall with choirs from around the world. As a lover of musicals , choir is such a great way to enjoy singing , make new friends  , have fun and an easy way to forget the stresses and troubles in the world . I thoroughly recommend it !
