I was lucky enough over the years to have worked very closely with some of the very best agents in the UK, Middle East and Australia, I also was a judge for many years at the various awards and one of the very best agents I saw over the years was Richard Durrant. He is regarded by many as one of the foremost hands-on Lettings specialists by the people that matter, in fact, I’ve never heard a bad word said about him and there’s not many of us in the industry that can say that.

I rarely give testimonials so the fact I'm writing this shows how highly I regard Rich. It goes without saying that he was instrumental in the growth of our lettings business. More than any of that he has become a friend and someone i will regularly pick up the phone to for his opinion and advice, regardless of the topic.

I worked with Richard for 18 months developing business strategy and activation for a PE-funded project in the residential property marketplace.



Richard has a strong ability to bring ideas to the table that are both insightful and deliverable allowing his teams to work collaboratively to deliver KPI's that reflected the business' long-term growth ambitions. Richard also made working together - often in stressful situations enjoyable. His confidence, optimism and perseverance often bring the difference between success and failure.

Richard has taught me a huge amount about how great estate and letting agents work and how to think about building products that work. I know some fantastically talented people in our industry and Richard leads the pack in intelligent insight and effective practice.
