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!

The first thing to consider when designing a conservatory is decide exactly why you want it in the first place! After all, one man’s conservatory is another woman’s garden room. Is the space to used primarily for planting, growing and protecting garden plants or are you really looking for more living space that’s pleasant to use in the summer (and perhaps also the winter)?
Most people think of a conservatory as essentially a ‘glass house’ and in Britain the formal definition of a conservatory is “..a building that has at least 50 per cent of its sidewall area and 75% of its roof glazed with translucent materials, be they polycarbonate or glass”.
Once you have decided what purpose the conservatory will meet you can then think about design.
It’s probably a good idea to keep things simple but make sure you consider the following;
Whatever your plans, a conservatory is a great way to extend your living area and extend the season so that you can better enjoy your garden. Just make sure that by extending your home you don’t overly restrict your garden in the process!
