Meet the Team

Tim Foulkes DIP REA, CPEA CEO

I started in agency in 1988 working for various corporate and independent firms in residential sales, financial services, lettings and management. This has given me an in-depth knowledge about property marketing enabling me to apply the best practices to the way we work.
I share with my co-founder, Dan Berrisford, responsibility for running the business and I have a particular interest in our marketing and promotions. I am extremely proud of our mascot Howard the Fish who has helped us win awards in innovation and marketing
We have a great team and work ethos at Howard Cundey which is reflected in the high standards of service we offer. I ensure that we look at new technologies and implement those that improve our standards of service and make life easier for our customers.
I am proud that we are sponsors and supporters of the Air Ambulance and being actively involved with our local communities. Outside of work I love nothing better than spending time with my two boys and friends and following my football team Spurs.

Dan Berrisford Dip SURV, MRICS CEO

I am involved in many of our day to day business activities, and it’s brilliant to have rewarding day to day contact with property owners, developers, landlords and tenants. It is a complete team effort across the board and a pleasure dealing with our dedicated staff and valued clients. I work closely with my co-founder, Tim Foulkes, to ensure that we continue to be a forward thinking online estate agency delivering a customer focussed service.
Outside of work I love nothing better than spending time with family and friends, cooking on the BBQ, walking my dog and driving my track car at race circuits.

Barry Warner Director of Customer Services

Having come from background in banking and financial services as well as other customer service orientated fields, the move to working in Howard Cundey Live as Head of Customer Services including sales progression was natural for me as it was central to the customer service skill I had developed. My team handle many hundreds of cases through to successful completion and I am very proud that we get some very touching testimonials. The whole team has a tremendous feeling of satisfaction when we are able to report the good news that keys can be handed over for one of our customers to move into their new home.
In my spare time, I have an interest in building projects and caring for the environment

I work within Howard Cundey’s Home Services department supporting the sales teams in getting prepared for marketing. My expertise is applied to producing energy performance certificates, a must when we put a property on the market, as well as floorplans and professional photography. I am always on the road covering a large geographical area and I see a wonderful variety of properties and meet some really interesting people.
I have a young family and I love being at home being Dad and helping around the house.

Val Blean Property Management Consultant

Charlotte Steele Regional lettings and sales Manager

Following working as an Elf in the lead up to Christmas 2011, I embarked on a career in Estate Agency at the start of 2012. Wanting to work in a vibrant and dynamic industry yet still working with a range of different people drew me to the industry and it’s a move that I glad I made! Having worked my way through from Lettings Negotiator to Lettings Manager, I loved seeing how the market and operations have changed, particularly with the increase of smartphones. With a slight side step to a Head of Compliance role in 2017, I gained the ARLA qualification in December 2017. Having missed interactions with clients, in March 2018 I moved back in to Estate Agency. Taking on properties, finding the best tenants for the best properties and guiding them through to a move in as seamlessly as possible is a role I love.
In my spare time I enjoy light activities such as yoga and Zumba, as well as catching up with friends over a glass of wine.

WORK HISTORY

Having grown a passion for property and now having been fortunate to have been given the chance to run my own office in ‘Edenbridge’ Kent to further develop my sales skills as a Regional Sales Manager.

You will spot me in the office most days, except for Wednesday and Sunday’s whereby I will be online… COVID allowing – Please come in for a chat, very happy to meet up with you and discuss anything property related.

My dynamic, can-do approach helped in my first employment by instantly bringing together great results for B2B clients having had a knack for achieving many complex and sizeable deals in media employment sales until the Covid-19 pandemic took hold nationwide and recruitment sales declined in numbers, especially as more and more companies put staff on furlough changing the whole sales dynamics. So a change of direction was needed.
