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!

Picture the scene – it’s the afternoon after the night before. It’s Boxing Day.
The presents are all open, the wrapping recycled, visitors entertained and it’s time for a bit of festive telly. Or is it?
26th December is traditionally a time when people relax and breathe a little easier knowing that Christmas Day has passed. And while people would often use the day off as chance to lounge around watching Only Fools and Horses repeats or the Home Alone for the 28th time, the digital age sees us doing different things.
A lot of people will be sitting on their sofas, spending their downtime searching for things on their smartphones and tablets. According to statistics from property portal Rightmove more than 25,147,701 pages featuring homes were visited on their site during last year’s Boxing Day. That’s a staggering amount and with high visitor numbers being reported by all the property portals, it makes it the busiest day of the year for people looking for new places to call home.
But what causes the Big Boxing Day Bounce of visitors onto these sites? Well, the festive ‘free-time’ is a period when many people realise a few things that the busyness of daily life masks.
Such as:
Your home is too small to entertain visitors comfortably.
Or too big as the kids have flown the nest and the available space seems wasted.
Or you’re too far away from loved ones (or too close in some cases).
These thoughts and emotions drive the Big Boxing Day Bounce, and that’s why putting your property on the market before the Christmas break is a very smart move. Especially when you time your marketing to start online on Boxing Day.
This savvy sales approach means you do not need to be disturbed during the holidays but WILL benefit from your home being seen by the biggest possible buying audience.
