About Us

Richard has lived in beautiful North Devon for most of his life, having built a successful insurance brokerage and financial services business, Richard started developing property and buying into Chequers was the natural progression, having bought and sold many times over the years, he understands the stresses and strain of the house sale process and aims through Chequers to make the journey from valuation to completion as simple as possible. Out of work Richard is currently renovating a thatched farmhouse and has two teenage boys and enjoys cycling and rugby.

I joined Chequers in June 2021 after working for six years at an alternative agent in Barnstaple. I am very willing to learn new skills in order to continue to progress. I was delighted to join Chequers and help grow people’s futures. I am excited about the developments within the business and long term exciting plans ahead and look forward to helping the people of North Devon with all their property matters, and stages of their property journey and life.

I am a determined and motivated member of the team here in Barnstaple, looking to achieve the best in everything that I do as well as approaching tasks with a 100% work ethic.

Having lived in the area all of my life I have a wealth of knowledge of the County. I live on my parent’s dairy and sheep farm in the Devon rolling countryside and have had my own flock of rare breed sheep for many years. In my spare time, I am a very active member of the National Federation of Young Farmers.
