Helen Thring
Marketing & Operations Manager
Helen is Nick’s sister and she successfully set up and established our Lettings Department back in 2013. Having spent much of her career prior to DY working in marketing, Helen now heads up our Marketing & Operations department. This suits her organisational skills, creativity and keen eye for detail perfectly! She loves taking long walks with her Labrador Finn and when time permits, travelling and visiting new places around the globe.
Top of my bucket list is…
To keep travelling, visiting more new countries and ultimately, one day explore Europe in a (very comfortable!) camper van.
My guilty pleasure…
Ben & Jerry’s cookie dough ice cream. Probably best just not to buy it!
When I was younger, I wanted to be…
Less shy/more confident. Still working on it…
If I were a superhero, my superpower would be…
To help find a cure for cancer and dementia. Here’s hoping.
On Sunday morning, you can usually find me…
Up bright and early for a long dog walk in the country.
You might be surprised to know that…
One of my earliest qualifications as a teenager was as a Clarks trained shoe fitter. Ohh, all those back to school shoes!

We have teamed up with a children’s author and are giving away a digital version of his fast-selling book, Spot the Different.
Jerry Lyons originally wrote the book for his seven-year-old daughter as a bedtime story to show that being different is something to be proud of and to embrace.
It tells the story of a young girl called Lucy, who is being bullied at school. She meets a magical ladybird called Spot, and he takes her on an adventure where they meet an array of unique animals.
These include Freddie the Flea who doesn’t jump, Charlie the Camel with no hump and Cassie the Crow that doesn’t like flying.
Andy Willard, a talented artist, wonderfully illustrates the book. It is currently sold out in print format, but we’ve been gained permission to share digital versions of it with families as a Christmas gift to younger members of our community.
Jerry Lyons said: “I want to get Spot’s message of inclusivity, diversity and being proud of yourself into as many young hands and minds as possible. And thanks to the generous support of Duncan Yeardley we are doing exactly that by offering the digital version for free.”
Duncan Yeardley are delighted to be playing a small part in spreading the book’s message, so please click here to get your free e-book.
Remember folks sharing is caring, so if you know a young person who would enjoy reading a digital copy of Spot the Different, please share this article with them.
