Meyers, the home-based agency franchise, has expanded into Ringwood and Verwood with Patrick Hester, who has previously worked for Austin & Wyatt (Countrywide), Winkworth and Allsopp. 

Patrick says: “I’ve always wanted to run my own estate agency and now, with ten years’ experience in both the UK and abroad, the timing was right. I worked with some of the Meyers’ franchisees in other firms a few years ago, more recently following their progress and success with Meyers. I’m from Poole originally and know the surrounding area well, so when the opportunity became available to run the Meyers franchise for Ringwood and Verwood it was the perfect choice.”

The Lomond Group has strengthened its senior leadership team as it accelerates its growth strategy across the UK with the appointment of three new directors.

Lucy Jones has joined as chief operating officer, Kirsty Franks has taken up the role of group marketing director, and Clare Wakeford has become its group human resources director.
