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!
3 Mar 2020
It’s World Book Day later this week. This fantastic project aims to get more children reading for fun and we’re fully supporting its efforts in the Bracknell area.
Its mission this year is to get kids and adults reading a million stories across the UK on Thursday 5 March. The charity behind the day encourages parents, carers and family members to read for fun (i.e. not schoolwork) with their children for just ten minutes every day.
Why it Matters
According to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. “Reading for pleasure is the single biggest indicator of a child’s future success, more than their family circumstances, parents’ educational background or their income.”
We’re privileged that as estate agents we get to listen to people’s stories. Because behind every home sold and bought is a personal story.
It could be the newlywed young couple excitedly stepping onto the property ladder. The family which has grown and now needs extra space to fit in a bigger dining table, the pets, the kids’ toys and books. Or recently retired people looking to downsize and fund a bucket list ticking trip around the world now that the ‘children’ have grown up and flown the nest.
What’s Your Story?
We come across so many different people with fascinating, moving and uplifting stories. It’s what makes us love our jobs.
Whatever your story is, at Duncan Yeardley we’ll do all we can to make sure your property tale in has a happy ending.
