Alex Sewell Founder & Director

I was the last of the Sewell family to get involved in property and now I live and breathe it!

I set up S&G in 2002 with my brother Gary, Mum (Jan) and Jane Gardner.  A lot has changed since then, with Gary & Jane having both left in 2014 and more recently with Emily taking up the role of Managing Director.  I now work closely with Emily on our strategic direction, mentor and train our junior team members and run our sister company, the commercial property consultancy Perry Holt & Co, www.perryholt.co.uk

My business philosophies are to keep it simple, treat the customers like you would expect to be treated yourself and provide simple, professional and honest advice.
