Independent agent expands into Ascot market

Agency brand Hat and Home has launched a new branch in Ascot that will be led by Paul Price.

He joins the independent agency after a 15-year central London tenure, the past five of which were at upmarket agency Marsh & Parsons, overseeing the sales proposition of five offices in west London.

Price said: “After spending some 15 years in the capital leading sales teams, I am excited to embark on a new challenge in a business that has impressive growth plans. Strong leadership, a defined culture and a customer-centric approach make Hat and Home a very appealing proposition.

“Hat and Home epitomises everything I believe great agency should be: service led and results focused with an emphasis on great marketing. The growth of the business has been impressive up to now and I am looking forward to helping drive future growth as their aggressive expansion continues.”
 

Price who joins the business as director is no stranger to Hat and Home founder Ben Gee, who said: “ I have worked alongside Paul for a number of years and have always admired his calm and considered persona coupled with his laser-sharp understanding of the market and an uncanny ability to get the best out of his team. I am delighted to welcome Paul to the Hat and Home senior leadership team and look forward to working with him to develop the Hat and Home brand in an exciting new territory.”

As with all branches, a framed album of Paul Young will feature prominently in the Ascot office, a homage to his song Wherever I lay my hat (that’s my home).

Gee added: “The Hat and Home brand is constantly evolving ensuring that our marketing is producing high levels of traffic to our website so our clients get the most enquiries for their properties.”
