Another Purplebricks director quits to return to traditional agency

A Purplebricks divisional lettings director has quit the troubled online agency and is returning to Spicerhaart, where she worked until a year ago.

Kelly-Anne Flynn first joined Spicerhaart in 2006 as a lettings assistant with the Merthyr Tydfil office of company brand Darlows.

More recently she quit her job as area director at Spicerhaart in July 2021 to become Purplebricks’ divisional lettings director for lettings and property management covering a huge patch including London, the south of England and all of Wales. 

But now she is back with Spicerhaart saying: “Much of my personal growth and development has been during my time at Spicerhaart, with its industry-leading training and development and I believe this is a fantastic opportunity to utilise my strengths, add value, make a difference and give back to the business that provided me with so many opportunities throughout my career.”

Satwant Basi, letting managing director for Spicerhaart, comments: “Kelly-Anne brings with her a wealth of knowledge, and her approach which centres around people and process.

"Understanding both residential lettings and property management is key as is the ability to work collaboratively to get the best results for all. Understanding what great looks like will no doubt help steer the business forward to our goal of 50,000 units.”

Last week we reported that the former finance director of Purplebricks, Matthew Farrow, had joined PropTech operator Lettingaproperty as interim finance director, presiding over £750,000 to build a new rental platform of landlords and tenants.
