Nock Deighton announces new shareholders

Nock Deighton has announced that Managing Director Dawn Clarke, Finance Director Jane Rawlings alongside Sales Directors Andrew Ainge, Hannah Brown and Chris Kemp, have become shareholders in the business, joining Chairman Michael Nettleton in the company’s ownership structure.

The move marks an important milestone for the independent estate agency and reflects the long-term commitment of its leadership team to the future growth and success of the business.

Several of the new shareholders have dedicated decades to the company, with Dawn Clarke, Jane Rawlings and Hannah Brown each having joined Nock Deighton more than 20 years ago. Over that time, they have helped shape the company’s reputation across Shropshire, Herefordshire and Worcestershire, overseeing continued expansion, investment and innovation.

As locally based directors with deep roots in the region, the new shareholder group says the change reinforces their commitment to ensuring Nock Deighton remains independently led, community focused and committed to delivering the highest standards of service.

Chairman Michael Nettleton said:

“This is a hugely positive step for the future of Nock Deighton. Dawn, Jane, Andrew, Hannah, and Chris have all played a significant role in the company’s success and growth over many years. Becoming shareholders recognises their dedication, leadership and belief in the future of the business.

“Importantly, it ensures that Nock Deighton continues to be led by people who genuinely care about the communities we serve, our clients and our staff.”

Managing Director Dawn Clarke added:

“Nock Deighton has always been about people, our clients, our team and the communities we work within. Becoming shareholders is a reflection of our shared commitment to continue investing in the business and making it the very best it can be for the future.

“We are incredibly proud of what the company has achieved and excited about the opportunities ahead.”

The strengthened shareholder structure will support Nock Deighton’s ongoing investment in marketing, technology, staff development and customer service, while maintaining the independent values and local expertise the company has built its reputation on over the last 190 years.
