Henry Rowe, director at
Kevin Henry Estate Agents, announces retirement
Kevin
Henry Estate Agents, part of Sharman Quinney, announces that director Henry
Rowe will be retiring from his role in September 2018. Henry’s decision to retire will bring to a
close a long and prosperous career of 30 years at the helm of Kevin Henry, one
which has seen the company grow into the most successful estate agency business
in the Saffron Walden area.
Estate
agency has always been in Henry’s DNA, being the son of the late Ted Rowe,
former senior partner of Watsons Estate Agents and, in 1988, Henry formed Kevin
Henry with Kevin Moll. With dedication
to great service and results, a passion for the trade and a love and extensive
knowledge of the local area, the business thrived. Under their tenure, the business has gone
from strength to strength and Henry’s retirement comes almost 30 years to the
day that Kevin Henry commenced trading, and two years since becoming part of Sharman
Quinney. The acquisition by Sharman
Quinney was a progressive move, making Kevin Henry part of a stronger, larger
group, giving them access to an unrivalled depth of experience and allowing the
business to flourish further. Although
retiring, Henry’s connection with the company continues in the form of a
part-time consultancy role, with Kevin Moll still director alongside a 16-strong
team to ensure consistency for customers and the same level of service.
“It
has been an exciting and very rewarding 30 years and I am delighted to leave
the company in such good health,” says Henry Rowe. “I wish my long term
business partner, Kevin Moll, branch manager Sue Johns, and the rest of the
Kevin Henry team, ably supported by Sharman Quinney, much success for the
future. I am pleased that I have been offered the opportunity to continue
my association with Kevin Henry as a consultant, and I look forward to keeping
in touch with valued clients over the coming years.”
“On
behalf of everyone at Kevin Henry and Sharman Quinney, I would like to commend
Henry on his fantastic career and outstanding contribution and wish him a long
and happy retirement,” says Mike Sharman, managing director at Sharman
Quinney. “Henry’s years of dedication to
the company have seen it grow into one of the best agents in the region,
consistently selling more houses each year than any other local agent in the
Saffron Walden area. The Kevin Henry
name has a reputation for excellence, and it is our intention to capitalise on
this and its market leading credentials.”
