Jessy Cannon

Jessy joined our team in 2014 as our apprentice 'with a difference'. We were very lucky to find her. Jessy's life experience combined with her long background in retail makes her an excellent communicator, vital when it comes to maintaining good relationships with landlords, tenants and the tradespeople that we use on a daily basis. It was no suprise to us that Jessy sailed through her apprenticeship and has gone on to play a key role in the company over recent years and is now 'office manager'. Highly motivated and always reliable, Jessy has built up extensive knowledge of the lettings business, supporting clients from the very first enquiry to the signing of a tenancy agreement. Jessy is currently a Littlehampton resident and loves living and working in West Sussex. After a busy day at the office she likes to wind down with a colouring-in book or a blast of Take That!
