Area Manager for connells group, East Kent

It seems like I’m often sharing positive updates from our area, but as one of my former mentors used to say, when you have good news, it’s important to share it. Recently, we held a competition called the Easter Cup, where we recognised our top performers in FS, MA’s, and outbound calls over an eight-day period. Annabel emerged as the clear winner, despite only starting her career in February. She’s been a shining example of a flying start and a testament to our recruitment process. A few months back, I attended a Connells conference where they emphasised the challenge of cultivating a positive culture, using Jurgen Klopp, the Liverpool manager, as an example. While they weren’t suggesting I leave at the end of the season (I don’t believe 😊) they highlighted the importance of cultivating a winning culture in any market, because its all about your people. Throughout my management experiences, I’ve always noticed a tendency from above to focus on the negatives. Personally, I prefer to spend 5% of the time on challenges and 95% on finding solutions. While there are consequences for underperformance, I believe in adopting a winning mentality, much like Klopp’s philosophy. It’s about bouncing back from setbacks and empowering our team to be their best selves. In the East Kent business, we prioritise recognising and celebrating those who go above and beyond. We don’t just acknowledge their efforts; we make them feel valued and empowered to tackle any challenge. I firmly believe that when everyone, from the cleaner up to the MD, operates at their best, there’s no obstacle we can’t overcome. This not only translates to success in business but also enriches our lives with unforgettable memories, not just for us but our clients as well. While it’s admirable to aspire to be like Jurgen Klopp, I’d rather be true to myself, to be like Allun Lewis. With the support of my fantastic colleagues and leadership team, that’s exactly what we strive for in our region, be the best versions of ourselves and we’ve only just begun. If you ever feel undervalued in your current role and believe you have untapped potential, don’t hesitate to reach out to me in confidence. In our region, there’s always room for one more to join our journey towards success. maria O'Connor Andrew Bates Mann Countrywide Chris Rosindale Countrywide Connells Group

Nice to see the Mann & co brand still doing well. I have fond memories of the 14 years I spent with them. Making many friends for life and going from a trainee at 17 to a senior manager running multiple branches. Good times with a good career path.
