We are delighted to announce the appointments of Callum Gilchrist, Glyn Delany and Gordon Webb to key management positions within the Summit Group. The tremendous support throughout the local communities has enabled Summit to achieve in excess of 25,000 sales and remain the market leaders for the past 3 decades, these new management appointments will continue to build on those strong foundations.
Whenever I’m asked why we remain so very committed to providing the Summit salespeople, our clients and customers the support of a highly qualified and effective group of Managers, there is always a very simple answer, “Does a builder stop learning once they have completed the apprenticeship”, no. Once a builder completes the training, they go on for many years learning before becoming a craftsman who is truly experienced.
Real Estate is no different, I think back to 2003 when Gordon Webb started with us, “at our training; nobody asked more questions than Gordon Webb” and over the past 22 years, he has gone on to sell many hundreds of properties and developed a remarkable depth of knowledge. Gordon tells me when Glyn Delany started in 2017, he also asked more questions than anyone else!
The best teams have the best coaches, managers and leaders who create an engaging work environment where market changes and challenges are faced together. Salespeople continue to grow by working with experienced colleagues and talented managers. You cannot manage a real estate office by numbers alone, but numbers do count. Our local managers bring a combined 230 years of industry experience, averaging over 20 years each.
I am stepping down from the Group Sales Manager role but know the level of support our team, clients and customers receive is from a highly experienced, talented and committed team of Managers, is second to none.
