Local estate agency Blundells has strengthened its team with two new promotions in the South Yorkshire and North Derbyshire area.

Liz Staley has been appointed the new branch manager for Dronfield and Neil Laughlin is the company’s new financial services manager.

Liz, who recently celebrated reaching a 30-year milestone at Blundells, will be managing the branch in her home town of Dronfield after previously working at the city centre office.

“I will be starting my new position as branch manager in the same month I celebrate three decades working at Blundells, which is fantastic" she said.

"My job has always been interesting and challenging and I love meeting different people and matching them up with their dream homes.

“I started out working with Mike Blundell, the founder of the company, at the start of my career so it’s lovely that I will be returning to work with him and the team in Dronfield.

“I have lived in Dronfield for over 40 years, my parents still live in the area and my grandparents also lived there, so to be able to work in my home town is fantastic. It’s a really nice area and even though it has grown, it’s still very much a community.”

After 11 years at Blundells, Neil Laughlin has been promoted to Financial Services Area Sales Manager. Based at the Chesterfield branch, Neil will be responsible for running the Blundells Mortgage Department.

“I am looking forward to developing the Mortgage Department and helping the team go from strength to strength. It has always been an award winning department and I want that success to continue" he said.

One of Neil’s challenges will be highlighting the accessibility of mortgages and demonstrating this to the house buying public.

“Mortgages are available and competitive despite the public perception that they are difficult to obtain. Personally, I would like to see more five per cent mortgages available for the right first time buyers because I think it would a key to unlocking the door to housing market success.”
