Keller Williams UK has named Ron Cole as Market Centre Manager at KW London Bridge.

Having started a career in agency after serving in the armed forces, Ron has worked across London and the Home Counties, most recently as sales manager at Frosts in Hertfordshire. 

“I’ve been very fortunate to have a 20 year career working with some truly amazing businesses and individuals. This resulted in the honour of building the most profitable London branch for a top 10 agency. Keller Williams now offers me the chance to develop agents to be successful and wealthy in their own right too” says Ron.

Still with KW, Nicholas Garrett is now Market Centre Manager at KW Prime in London’s Victoria. 

Nicholas joined Foxtons in 2017, consulting on luxury property sales for HNW individuals from overseas.

We will be with our clients all the way from their decision to sell their property to the day it becomes someone else’s home; our clients will always have the confidence in knowing that they will be dealing with either Amy or Liz” they say.
