Since leaving University in 2001 after studying for a degree in Economics and European Studies, Rob began his professional career as a graduate trainee money broker for a boutique firm in the heart of the City of London. A lifelong interest in property however drew Rob to leave the City and begin a long career in Central London, the last 15 years of which has been spent at a boutique agency in Mayfair where he worked alongside James. It was here that Rob forged a large number of strong relationships across the industry as well as building a reputation for being a trusted advisor at the very top end of the Central London Market. Rob also established, grew and ran the residential development department of his previous firm where, in the face of strong competition from much larger international firms, he was responsible for successfully managing a department advising and selling assets worth almost £1.5bn.
  
Rob is also well known in the ‘second-hand market’ and over the years has been responsible for selling some of the largest and most valuable houses in Central London to a value of almost £1bn.
  
When not at work, Rob is a keen sportsman playing tennis to a high standard and has a number of Marathons and Ironman triathlons under his belt, as well as spending quality time with his wife Lucy and their son, as well as family and friends.
