Savills’ Rickmansworth appointment

Savills has strengthened its residential sales team in Hertfordshire with the appointment of a new director to lead its Rickmansworth office.

Steven Spencer has more than 25 years’ experience working in the property sector, having most recently led the Gerrards Cross office for Strutt and Parker in Buckinghamshire. Previously he worked for award winning independent estate agency Roberts Newby, where he was an equity partner and subsequently sold the company to Strutt & Parker in 2015. He takes over as head of Savills Rickmansworth from Peter Everett who will continue in a consultancy role.

Spencer said: “I know the area very well, having gone to school at Merchant Taylors’ School and then living in Rickmansworth and Chorleywood from the early 2000s until around 2010, so the move feels very much like a natural transition.

Paul Jarman, head of region for Savills residential offices in the Home Counties, added: “Steven brings a great deal of experience and expertise to the role and we’re delighted to have him on board. His appointment signals our continued commitment to strengthening our teams and ensuring our offices provide the very best service to our clients. I look forward to seeing how he continues to grow the office and wish him a long and enjoyable tenure.”
