What our CEO has to say! Introducing Jason Watkin
Why Thornley Groves is leading the way...
The success of the business has been born out of its independence. We have always been at the forefront of property technology, embracing change and motivated to lead from the front.
The high street has become predictable and boring if you are a customer; Estate Agents are ‘ten a penny' with no apparent desire to be the best. This is exactly the reason why I remain motivated & energised about our business, employing the very best people that the market has to offer, being generous in our reward for outstanding performance, investing in training, creating aspirational work spaces and delivering excellent customer service by people who are proud to be Estate Agents & most importantly proud to work for Thornley Groves Estate Agents.
