Working Here

Unbelievably, this year marks my 20th year with Morris & Company. In my role, I am usually the first person visitors meet and I take this responsibility seriously. It’s my mission to make everyone feel at ease as soon as they come through our wonderful carved entrance doors. I’m a real people person and love meeting new faces.

No two days are the same in this job and I like to think I’m like a swan; cool and calm on the surface and paddling away underneath!

I get involved in so many activities here. As a trained dancer since the age of three, I was once roped into teaching my colleagues the infamous Jerusalema dance routine – hilarious but great fun.

My career in property started as a plumber on site over 15 years ago. Since then, I built my career and have been working as a Quantity Surveyor for over 10 years.

With a young family and a busy working life, it can be difficult to fit it all in, but I’m grateful that the Company and my colleagues are so understanding and accommodating. One particular highlight for me was the Company’s recent 150th celebrations and it was great to be acknowledged as part of that achievement.

I enjoy the variety and balance between working in the office and being out on site and am a great believer in constantly learning new things. In my work here, I’m exposed to a range of different sectors and projects which helps expand my experience.

After 9 years at a local firm of solicitors I joined the Company in 2018 as a Chartered Legal Executive to work alongside our Company Secretary and Group Solicitor, Lyndsey.

When the Solicitors Qualifying Examination was introduced in 2021 I decided I wanted to qualify as a Solicitor and studied for the exams in my own time alongside my busy role here.  I was delighted to be amongst the first tranche of students who sat and successfully passed the exams and was admitted as a Solicitor in September 2022. My Morris colleagues were incredibly supportive throughout the whole process and I am now embracing my new role of Associate Solicitor.

It’s a demanding job but one I thoroughly enjoy.  Working for a group of companies means no one day is the same and I love the variation but the best part of the role for me is being part of the Morris team and seeing our developments evolve from advising on initial site acquisitions all the way through to seeing a tenant or buyer being handed the keys to their new property.
