I grew up in Peacehaven and after leaving the Tideway School started at the bottom in my father’s estate agency in Peacehaven and later with a corporate agency managing three offices. Backed by a good reputation locally, we opened our first office in Peacehaven in 1990, with prime sites in Seaford and Newhaven opening soon after. I’ve always been hands-on, and believe in working hard, especially on keeping fresh ideas coming for the benefit of our clients and staff. I have two grown up children, Sam having worked here also. In between I work on my 10-handicap on the golf course and go to the gym not often enough!

I first started working for Phillip Mann back in 2001 and become branch manager of the Newhaven office in 2010. Previously I worked for a local corporate agent and found the target-driven culture counter-productive. Yet with our team that’s naturally hard working, getting properties sold is the only motivation we need! I like to think that comes across to sellers and buyers. Getting word of a new instruction is a brilliant feeling, although getting it sold still gives me the biggest buzz! Spare time is rare, but in short: spending time with my wife and kids and my second love following the mighty Seagulls!

Nick has returned to us after a short break after previously working for the company for 11 years. Nick has a wealth of experience in the Newhaven area and is relishing reconnecting with current/past clients. His interests include Formula 1, bike riding and has taken part in the London to Brighton bike ride for the last few years.

I moved here in 2014 from Canada, where I’d gained my Real Estate License and been working for a year. I wanted to work in the UK market which is faster-moving and a great place to learn the trade. Phillip and the team have been great at helping me learn the ropes. Not surprisingly I’m a big hockey – or ‘ice hockey’ – fan, as well as baseball and football – or ‘American football’! But the rolling hills of the Downs are pretty good too, as is living by the sea!

Having worked for Phillip since the beginning, I am the longest-serving person here! The experience gained over those years has been invaluable, especially in lettings which I head up, where a nose for what’s going on is crucial! But the thrill of knowing that I have been able to find that perfect tenant for a property is genuinely undimmed! I grew up in Seaford and although I now live in Eastbourne, still think there’s no better view than the ferry when driving in to Newhaven on a sunny morning! It’s a great antidote to a busy work and home life!

I recently started at Phillip Mann after a brief spell in corporate agency, where I found the nature to be primarily target and number driven and not about customer service. I am happy to have joined the top local agent, and hope to grow into the shoes of those who have made the company just that. In my spare time I love tinkering with vehicles, and travelling whenever the opportunity arises.

It was back in 1995 that I started my career in estate agency with a small company called Phillip Mann. Nearly 20 years later, I manage the Peacehaven office and the company is the market leading agency in Seaford and Newhaven as well as Peacehaven! Despite such a long time working here, I never tire of the smile on people’s faces when they take their keys from us and head off on a new adventure. In my spare time, such as it is, I love walking with my family on the beach or Downs – a great antidote to a busy week!

I have worked for Phillip Mann since 2010 and have been in the industry for nearly 20 years. I get a buzz when confirming exchange of contracts, knowing that we have helped our clients move forward with their plans. Like the company, I want to be the no.1 agent in the area – so we’re a good fit for each other! I am Brighton-born and -bred and moved to Peacehaven with my wife and two children in 2007. Living in Peacehaven is brilliant – having the coast and sea so nearby makes it easy to enjoy my hobby of fishing (but also love football and a good movie!).

I’ve been with Phillip Mann since 2012, and was most keen to make sure I worked for the market-leading agent in the area. I love seeing the excitement on people’s faces come completion day, when their keys are handed over! Knowing that all the hard work to market the property, find the buyers, carry out the viewings and see it all to completion has finally paid off. Time to go down to the beach with a bag of chips and watch the sunset...!

I was born in South Africa and have lived in East Sussex since 1998. I joined Phillip Mann as the office junior in 2007 because they were, and are the no.1 agent in the area. I still get a buzz from getting to know a client and their property, thinking about which of our buyers it would most suit and then letting them know I have their ‘forever house’! I love spending time with my wife and baby daughter on the South Downs and bike-riding through the fantastic seaside towns here. And thanks to Phillip for sponsoring the 5-a-side football team that I play with!
