Is your block or estate in need of a change?
Meet Some of the Team
These are just some of our people who you’re most likely to liaise with on a day-to-day basis.
Joint Managing Partner
James graduated from the University of Surrey with a degree in Mathematics before falling into Property Management quite by accident.
Eleven years spent across five prominent London-based managing agents led to him teaming up with his friend and colleague, Joe, to launch JFM in 2015. James is now responsible for finance & operations for the company. He was named in 2016 and 2018 as one of the top 100 most influential people in the leasehold sector.
James is married to a Swedish lady and has a teenage son and young daughter. He loves skiing and is hopeless at learning Swedish.
Joint Managing Partner
Joe graduated in History & Philosophy from Reading University. Working initially for his family’s construction firm in his native North London, he spent eight years rising up the ranks at two large managing agents in London. Five years spent working alongside James allowed the pair to realise their friendship, work ethic, shared values and ideas were the basis for a fantastic chance to do something extraordinary in the industry. And so it became.
Joe is responsible for new business and HR for JFM. He was also named in 2016 and 2018 as one of the top 100 most influential people in the leasehold sector. Joe is an excellent singer and guitarist – he bundled the band off stage at James’ wedding and did an amazing Oasis selection (we think!).
The acquisition of Jake was a major step forward for JFM and we’re delighted and excited to have him with us. His well-rounded 15 years’ experience in the industry, combined with his intelligence, puts him unquestionably amongst the best leasehold technicians in the sector. His football team allegiance (Tottenham) is a slight stain on his rep. but nobody’s perfect, right?
Simon proved their faith was right by winning ‘London Property Manager of the Year’ in 2018. Simon’s technical ability and strong strategic planning sets him apart. He’s well-liked and respected by clients and peers alike. He’s still practicing on keeping his workspace neat and tidy.
Zoe can be seen online if you’re so inclined since there’s an amusing clip of herself and her husband caught in bed on the Michael McIntyre show!
Our ‘Mr Nice’ is well-liked, builds excellent relationships with his clients, and delivers brilliant customer service with a smile. When he’s not making customers happier, he’ll be found teasing his colleagues.
Rizwan became AIRPM qualified swiftly upon joining JFM and is already studying towards his MIRPM. His clients love him and so do we. He’s a gym fanatic and when not diligently putting in the hours to keep his blocks/estates in tip-top-shape, he’ll be shoulder-pressing the odd 100kg to keep his mind in top condition too.
Ruvina’s an asset to the Company and loves the social science behind delivering a good service in the eyes of her customers. At work she’s continually striving for ways to improve processes, while away from work she volunteers for the mental health charity, Mencap. You are fortunate indeed if Ruvina manages your building!
Emma’s calm, composed, and assured demeanour enables her to employ her management techniques with a level of sophistication that instils respect and confidence in her customers. Emma loves her 90s pop music and allegedly is a bit of a karaoke star (at home at least!).
Aside from being our ‘threesies’ lady (tea and biscuits at 3pm!), we’re reliably informed she’s a rapper not a singer and likes her fresh white Nikes!
From being the best intern ever, to securing a position in our admin team, she went on to be promoted to senior administrator before, in 2019, becoming the admin team leader. Her development is no surprise to us anymore.
Slowly transforming into our British “Cathy Digwell”, she’s a vital cog in the company and is hugely respected by all who work with her. Somehow she manages a very active and sporty social life and counts boxing and horse-riding among her many talents. Formidable in more ways than one…
She’s a popular, outgoing member of the team and keeps the office on their toes with her eclectic taste in television programmes. And, yes – you may have guessed – she’s a keen and able equestrian (horse-rider).
Zac complements both the admin team and the company as a whole by his likeability and easy-going nature. He loves his sport, music, and attending gigs, and has his hair cut every two weeks!
Lisa thinks she was born in the wrong era and is in love with 1920s music, dance and dress. She’s a keen competitor and a very bad loser. Luckily it doesn’t happen often, although there was that time that she walked out of the bowling alley on a first date with James…
Being one of 6 (!) siblings, Aaron used to help his mum bake treats to escape the craziness around the house. He now uses his baking skills to relax in his free time. And lucky for him he has a number of eager beavers at work who are always happy to support his hobby…
Hassan is a member of the Association of Accounting Technicians (AAT) and finds enough time to study towards his ACCA qualification, as well as his AIRPM. No wonder our customers’ financial records are kept in such good order. Shame he supports Chelsea…
Indicative Quote & Free Inspection
It will take just 5-10 minutes on the phone for us to run through key details about your building so we can produce an indicative quote for you. You can use this as a rough guide to see if we are a good match for your building. If we are competitive, you’ll be entitled to a free site inspection.
As part of an inspection we will undertake a detailed review of your block/estate which we use to produce a full fee proposal. Simply enter your details below for more information.
