One of the founding members of the Parkers franchise in Tilehurst, Bruce's career in Estate Agency began in 1987, and he has been an integral part of the Parkers business for the last 16 years. Bruce is responsible for all aspects of the sales process from providing informed valuations and proactively marketing properties, through to accompanying viewings and ensuring that sales complete in a hassle free and timely manner. Bruce is very much a people person and committed to making the process of selling or buying property as stress free and enjoyable as it can be. His positive attitude is contagious and he is very popular with our existing and previous clients. In his spare time, Bruce focuses his positive energies into Karate. Once a former champion, he now uses his skills to coach others.

Having lived in and around Reading all my life and being educated at the local Theale Green Comprehensive, I started with Parkers Reading in 1978 and moved through the ranks covering areas from Thatcham up to Langley eventually entering management in 1985 and then enjoyed a year off in 1989/90 to broaden my horizons and travel the world. Recharged, I rejoined the company with the endeavour to start my own business. I purchased the first franchise of Tilehurst in 1999, Burghfield Common followed swiftly in 2001 and opened Theale in 2013. Now residing with my wife and two daughters in Spencers Wood with my interests being golf, following football and I have recently started training for a bike ride from Land's End to John O'Groats in 2016 for charity.

I have been with Parkers for over thirty years and during this time I have dealt with all types of property including large country houses, new homes and land. In my time I have gained a wealth of knowledge and experience and try to maintain my reputation for providing good honest advice. My role here is predominately managing the Lettings Departments as well as New Homes, although I still get involved in all aspects. I live in Wokefield and have done so for 27 years. I have two children who attend the local secondary school and have many friends in the local area who in my spare time enjoy socialising with.

I have been in estate agency since I was 18 and I've just turned 40 (so that's a fair few years!). I have been married for 14 years and have two little sons. I started my estate agency career in Tilehurst but have been in Burghfield for the last five years. I am very much a people person and anyone who knows me will know I love a chat and a giggle. I have been fortunate enough to do lots of travelling before becoming a mum but we as a family still like to explore the world when we can. I love being an estate agent because hopefully we can make the house selling and buying process a bit less stressful just by keeping in touch and being honest.

I had previous experience in running my own business before I became an estate agent, and although many skills have been transferable the challenge of changing roles was really enjoyable. I love bringing up my daughter and in my spare time love playing tennis and socialising. Working within Parkers I get to enjoy a varied role from meeting buyers and getting to show them potential new homes, negotiating on properties to getting creative with the village newsletter and arranging sponsorship and support for many local events and associations.
