Rayner Personnel franchisee celebrates success by expanding with second territory

Rayner Personnel franchise owner Guy Hodge, who was formerly the founder and managing director of Lords Estate Agents in Kingston upon Thames, snapped up the Rayner Personnel South-East franchise area in May 2016. He built it up into a flourishing business and now has a team of four, matchmaking talent to key companies. Guy’s region now stretches from Bournemouth to Broadstairs, from Bexhill to Bagshot and from Bromley to Brighton. Counties covered include Hampshire, Surrey, Sussex, Kent and the southern part of Greater London.

“With more than 35 years in the property business, our depth of knowledge is huge, which employers value because we understand the type of people they are looking for,” explains Guy. “We got off to a flying start in 2017 meeting demand for talented people from estate agencies throughout the region; and, having established a reputation for knowing our stuff, we have exciting plans for 2018.”

These include searching for a licensee to actively develop the Portsmouth, Plymouth and Bournemouth postcodes, which have a lot of untapped potential. Guy also intends to establish a professional property division placing financial advisers, surveyors and block management roles. “In fact,” says Guy, “my ambition is to become the go-to recruitment company for property businesses in the south-east of England.”

Joshua Rayner, MD of Rayner Personnel remarks, “I’m delighted that Guy’s faith in the Rayner Personnel business model has paid off so handsomely. I am sure that with his decades of property experience, track record and network of industry contacts he will capably meet the high demand for a specialist estate agency recruitment service in his newly-expanded territory.”
