CHARTERED surveyor Andrew Riley has joined the team at Dacre Son & Hartley in Skipton.

Mr Riley was a Skipton estate egent before qualifying as a chartered surveyor, following which he took the reigns at Wilman & Lodge in the town, which he sold four years ago.

Andrew, who lives in the village of Rylstone, says: “Although I originally planned to retire, I have always enjoyed my work so when the time came, I decided I’d prefer to find a new challenge.
“When I realised there was an opportunity at Dacres, I jumped at the chance.

“The company has been a key player in Yorkshire’s property market for almost 200 years and even though it was a competitor for most of my working life, it was a business I always admired. I am very much looking forward to embarking on a new chapter in my career with the firm.”

“Skipton has always been a great place to work as an estate agent because it has such a varied and sought after property market that appeals to a huge range of buyers from first time buyers through to second home owners.”

INTERIOR design student Sadie Mae Martin from Harrogate College has been chosen to work with a Yorkshire designer for a Miller Homes show home.

Designer Jeanette Holmes will take Ms Martin on as she designs an interior scheme for the upcoming Chene Hall development in Killinghall.

“I really enjoyed hearing the student’s ideas and the processes they had gone through to create their schemes,” said Jeanette Holmes interior designer for Miller Homes Yorkshire. “However, there was just something about Sadie’s scheme that seemed to emulate the quality that Miller Homes has in its show homes and the way in which she really embraced the brief so accurately made her a very worthy winner.”
