The other trading style is Bradstowe Chartered Surveyors, which undertakes Surveys, Valuations and all other property professional work.

We have a well established dedicated property management team that operates Henderson Setterfield in an efficient, smooth and professional manner.

I am proud of the high level of service we provide to our Clients and although I have now taken early retirement I am delighted to continue working with Henderson Setterfield on a consultancy basis.

In my spare time I love to discover new walking trails, meet with friends or spend hours in my garden.

Our little team of block managers works really well together and although we’re very busy, we usually find time for a brisk walk down to Broadstairs seafront at lunchtime! Out of the office I sing badly in a choir (or did before Covid-19) and also play viola in the Bradstowe Symphony Orchestra.
