*
/pages/our-story-new
Being the Chairman for DB Roberts requires an incredible understanding of the local marketplace, patience, qualification as a Surveyor, the ability to manage people (be it clients, professional partners or staff), a love of property and outstanding business acumen.
Bill Brookes is quite simply DB Roberts. He started working for Dennis Blake Roberts in 189? when making the tea actually formed part of his job description. Hard work, promotion and professional qualification have paved the way to the No1 seat on the board and a career spanning millions of years.
His unwavering respect for his mentor is reflected in name of the company which Bill has chosen never to change.

A managing Director is someone responsible for the daily operations of a company to be a managing director at DB Roberts also requires you to fully understand that responsibility, and Jo Culley certainly fits her role perfectly.
With extensive Marketing and Sales experience in the Corporate world of Estate Agency, a phenomenal reputation for professionalism in the B2B sector and a dynamic sales edge, Jo joined DB Roberts in 199?, took 58% market share with the Telford Suite of Branches and simulated this success throughout the company. She stepped up to MD in 201? and the company has continued to dominate the marketplace.
Forging and maintaining strong business partnerships, whilst managing the team of Directors, keeps Jo actively engaged on a day to day basis.

From college to working at a Local Supermarket, then onto a fantastic career in Estate Agency. At the tender age of 20, DB Roberts welcomed me into the fold as a Trainee Negotiator.
Over the following years I worked my way up to Area Valuer and Branch Manager. Dedicating all my efforts to thrive at the largest and most proactive independent estate agent, and being constantly proud to offer new and innovative ideas to our clients and buyers alike.
In 2015 I was promoted to Valuations Director, 17 plus years later from that first interview. I enjoy being part of the Board, having the opportunity to be involved with implementing change and growth, whilst working with a great sales team in a competitive market place.

My passion for property can be traced back to my pre-professional days probably from the point I asked Dad to extend the Rabbit Hutch! I love seeing people excited about things, and finding solutions to peoples residential dreams is certainly that!
Initially, I qualified as a Financial Advisor based in a large corporate Estate Agency and moved across to become a Regional Estate Agency Manager in the late 90s. Since then Ive sat on the board of both National Estate Agency Networks and Independent Companies
and I love the fact this career presents new challenges and learning opportunities every single day.
Technology has changed and improved estate agency marketing over the years; embracing this, whilst being able to deliver a great customer experience, is our utopia.

I've worked in estate agency for 23 years, having been in Hotel management. I love interaction with people & at 20, decided to step into a career with a Corporate agent in the West Midlands.
During the next six years I was promoted to Valuer and in 2002 became the Senior Valuer for DB Roberts, Telford. By this time, Id completely embraced the DB Roberts forward thinking approach to agency and our ability to offer everything the corporate agencies can - whilst adding that personal touch, ensuring the customer is at the centre of our business.
Promotion to the role of Sales Director means I have an input when the board make innovative decisions. I love the way the business continues to evolve, working with our happy, helpful sales team to deliver a constantly improving service to our customers, without whom we, would not exist.
