MCCARTNEYS are pleased to announce the appointment of Rob Fearnley as their new residential sales manager within their Hay-on-Wye office.

Rob joins an already experienced and well established team in Hay which is headed by senior consultant Ryan Williams, bringing further property expertise to the branch having worked within the estate agency sector for eight years.

Having managed another local estate agency prior to his arrival, Rob is also a member of ARLA (Association of Residential Lettings Agents) which is the UK's foremost professional body for letting agents, and can offer marketing advice both in the sales and lettings sectors of the industry.

McCartneys LLP is the leading independent auctioneers, estate agents, chartered surveyors and valuers in the Marches, Mid Wales and West Midlands, with twenty property offices and five livestock markets covering four counties along the Wales borders.

Rob commented "I am delighted to be joining such a established, traditional, well known company which has firm roots within the local community. The opportunity to work alongside Ryan Williams, who has such a wealth of knowledge and experience within the property industry was just too good an opportunity to let pass by. Having been with the team over the last month or so, I can already see that the office is thriving with activity, and having visited a host of delightful properties throughout the area, it is easy to see why people are attracted to living in Hay-on-Wye and its surroundings."

Ryan added " We see Rob's appointment as an important and exciting one. He will be specialising in residential estate agency which is our core business, sitting alongside myself and Edward Page, who will continue to be heavily involved in all agricultural matters as well as being in charge of the lettings section. Rob is keen and enthusiastic, as well as being a highly experienced and popular local agent."
