NEW LETTINGS MANAGER APPOINTED

Macaulay Thompson has been appointed by our Craven area lettings division.
In his new role as lettings manager, Macaulay will cover the Skipton and Keighley areas. He has almost seven years’ previous experience at a Bingley lettings business. 

Macaulay’s appointment is a direct result of our ongoing expansion of the successful residential lettings division. 

Macaulay said: “I started my career in property straight from school as an apprentice and enjoy everything about the fast-paced lettings industry. I now feel it’s the right time to move to a bigger firm and take on more responsibility. There is a great opportunity for me to develop my career at Dacres and I will be covering a large patch across Keighley, Skipton and up into the Dales. 

“My aim is to grow the company’s market share in the Skipton area in particular. It’s a popular town with lots of professionals attracted by the employment opportunities in the area and good transport links; lots of people are keen to retire here too. Dacres markets everything from apartments and terraced homes through to grand detached properties and my focus will be on increasing our visual presence in the immediate locality.” 
Macaulay, who lives in Cross Hills, will report into Emma Kerrywood, who heads up Dacres' lettings division across the 20 offices. She says: “Macaulay is very driven and has a sound understanding of the lettings market locally – he is a welcome addition to our team. His appointment takes the total number of people working within our lettings division to 18.” 
Dacres offers landlords a ‘let only’ service through to a ‘fully managed’ service which includes sourcing tenants, compiling contracts, collection of rent and property inspections.
