A Somerset estate agency has strengthened its management team by appointing the founder's son as a director, four months after breaking away from a national franchise. Edward Creswick & Sons, based in Burnham-on-Sea, has appointed Tom Creswick to help oversee its next phase of growth.
Independence move in July
The appointment follows the agency's decision to operate independently under the Creswick family name in July. Founder Edward Creswick, who has worked in the Burnham-on-Sea and Highbridge property market since 1988, says the business has experienced an increase in valuations and buyer enquiries since the rebrand.
Tom brings more than a decade of property industry experience, having started his career as a junior negotiator before progressing to senior roles. As director, he will oversee the sales team, conduct valuations and viewings, and support the agency's expansion plans. He joins his father, Edward, and brother, William, who oversees customer care and compliance.
Family leadership
Edward Creswick said: "Going independent under our own name was about building something for the long term, for our clients and for our family. The response has been fantastic. We're valuing more homes, handling more enquiries and helping more people move. Bringing Tom back as a Director gives us the strength to keep growing without losing the personal, director-led service our clients value."
Tom Creswick added: "Independent, family-run agents have a real advantage. Clients know exactly who they're dealing with and who's accountable. I've seen how other businesses grow, and I'm excited to bring that experience home and help us reach even more movers across the area."
